By the end of the week, the 2010 season will be underway - holy crap!

(Before we begin: Our “Friendly Fire” training camp battles series begins Tuesday.)

Before this week’s over, it will begin.

The two-a-days. The position battles. The fights. The heat – my God, the heat.

No more guessing will be necessary. Okay, there will still be some guessing – but not as much. Before this week’s over, training camp for [...]

Does it seem like highlight shows hate the Packers?

I’ve resisted griping about this issue for a long time, since one of the first things they teach you in communications classes is to recognize biases and how they corrupt perceptions. But I’m going to go with it anyway.

I was watching one of NFL Network’s many, many Top 10 shows today — something about the [...]

Wrapping up the week: RFAs, a possible 18-game schedule and a plea for your help

It’s been a few days since we last checked in. Okay, five days.

Our bad.

With the week winding down, here are my thoughts on some of the major Green Bay Packers-related stories of the past, well, five days.

Williams joins Jolly in signing tender; Bigby appears to be digging in

Well, it appears as though cornerback Tramon Williams took [...]

What to do with Atari and Tramon?

As we near 11:01 p.m. Lambeau Time, the Green Bay Packers have a pair of decisions to make.

At 11:01, the Packers can reduce the RFA tenders made to safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Tramon Williams to 110 percent of the 2009 salaries for each player. The Packers reportedly sent letters to those two – along [...]

Pack will be hard-pressed to avoid paying Woodson

Earlier this week, a report surfaced from Josina Anderson of FOX31 in Denver (huh?) that reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson had approached the Green Bay Packers about a new contract.

Woodson, who turns 34 on October 7, has three years left on the seven-year, $52.7 million (if he hit all the various incentives) contract he [...]

The Green Bay Packers' all-time 53-man roster (part seven)

Okay, no more stalling. It’s time to unveil the cornerbacks for the all-time defense.

I’m serious, guys!

Also, please note that this closes out the offensive and defensive part of the roster. There are three special teams spots left – you didn’t really think I’d leave those guys off, did you? – and they will be unveiled [...]

Roethlisberger prompts re-examination of some age-old questions

(Recently, we asked you guys – the faithful OBOD readers – if you had any interesting ideas that you’d like us to write about over the next few months. One reader, Nathan Heineke, sent along a couple of cool ideas. This was one of them. Thanks, Nathan. If you have any ideas, again, feel free [...]

Putting the final bow on Green Bay's 2010 draft

Look a little closer and you’ll see that this group has the chance to make a rather significant impact, both next season and for years to [...]

Selections of Neal, Burnett tell much about the condition of Green Bay's 3-4 scheme

By targeting defensive line and safety with Green Bay’s day two selections, Thompson showed he has much more confidence in his team’s outside linebackers and corners than most fans/analysts [...]

Burnett already third on depth chart?

Thompson traded up 15 spots to get him, trading pick #86 (third round) and #122 (fourth) to Philadelphia for pick #71. Second straight year Thompson made a significant trade up in the top three rounds and you can’t blame him here, Burnett can ball. [...]
