Other thoughts on the first weekend of free agency

So far, we at OBOD have covered the hell out of free agency as it relates to the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFC North.

(Okay, maybe we haven’t “covered the hell” out of it. But we’ve been good….solid….decent. Yeah, let’s stick with that – decent.)

But what about the rest of the NFL? [...]

First OBOD mock draft of 2010! Hooray!!

Well, it’s time.

With the NFL scouting combine in full swing and free agency set to begin Friday at 12:01 a.m. EST, we at OBOD figured it would be a good idea to pull together an early mock draft. Like we said in our first mock last year, this baby is likely to change a ton [...]

And the winner of Super Bowl XLIV will be...

The Indianapolis Colts.

And the final score will be 34-24.

And the Super Bowl MVP will be not Peyton Manning, but Dallas Clark.

And he will have 9 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns.

It’s to no one’s surprise that I picked the Colt’s after I admitted to the world my man crush on Peyton Manning.  I am [...]

Super Bowl XLIV: My thoughts

First, let’s get a few things out of the way:

–Adam’s piece on changing your view of Peyton Manning really resonated with me. I’ve always been a Manning hater, but as the Colts have made this Super Bowl run, I’ve found myself less and less bothered by him. Here’s why: In Manning’s last Super Bowl, I [...]

A look at (and prediction for) Super Bowl XLIV

At last, it’s almost here.

Soon, there will be no more hype. No more injury reports. No more analysis. No more rumors of some band claiming to call themselves The Who playing the halftime show.

Seriously, fellas, you need to stop. You’re killing all of us.

Soon, Super Bowl XLIV will be upon us, with the Indianapolis Colts [...]

Darren Sharper on Nick Collins

Darren Sharper weighed in from the Super Bowl on Nick Collins’ contract situation with the Green Bay Packers, which in some ways mirrors his own departure from the Packers after the 2004 [...]

Green Bay Packers' All-Decade Team, part two: Defense and Special Teams

Alright, hope y’all enjoyed part one.

Without further adieu, here’s part two. Hey, that rhymed!

Also, I’ve decided to run this part as defense only. Including the special teams players here would make this post far too long for you guys to read all at once. The special teams section will be up later today (I promise).

Again, [...]

Offseason to-do list (conclusion): Potential free agent targets for Green Bay, part two

(Before we begin: Just to reiterate, if you’re worried this is it for OBOD’s offseason coverage, don’t be. We’ll be all over free agency when it starts and we’re already busy researching for the draft and we’ll be beginning our coverage of that soon enough. Three words: Mock drafts, baby!)

Let’s cut to the chase. Here [...]

Who dat? Not you, Judas

UPDATE: I’ve been graciously informed by reader Holly that “who dey” refers to the Bengals, while “who dat” is the Saints. Whoops. Thanks for the catch, Holly. Can’t keep my Southern team cheers straight. And if you don’t think Cincinnati is in the South, spend some time there. Right over the border from Kentucky. Anyway…

Hey everybody–Gene here, back [...]

Funny guy, that Darren Sharper

So I’m trying not to get sucked up in all this Favre/Vikings B.S., because I don’t normally get this worked up when a team with a subpar offense thinks they can fix it with an over-the-hill QB who doesn’t have much left in his arm and is still delusional enough to think he can make [...]
