Matt Flynn « Ol' Bag of Donuts

Well, THAT was a crazy Saturday in June, huh?

At daybreak, it seemed like the most interesting story involving the Green Bay Packers was Donald Driver’s Charity Softball Game, which takes place Sunday in Appleton.

Then came the afternoon and, well, you-know-what got weird.

After originally not knowing who the player was, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting late Saturday night that cornerback Brandon Underwood is in fact [...]

Friday roundup - Clay, Lang, a different Harrell and more

It’s been a minute since we’ve given our thoughts on any actual, real news surrounding the Green Bay Packers. That’s mainly because, well, there hadn’t been much.

I mean, I know they signed a receiver from the CFL recently. But I’m not going to talk about it.

Lately, though, there’s been a slight flurry of activity. And with [...]

If I was running the draft room in Green Bay...

As I write this, we sit on the eve of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Holy crap.

That being the case, it’s time for me to put on my Ted Thompson cap and pretend I’m running the draft room in Green Bay. Yeah, this should be fun.

Before we tee this thing off, a few ground rules:

I am not going to [...]

Friday round-up: Old quarterbacks, new jerseys and dreadful commentators

With the waters of free agency apparently still too icy for Ted Thompson to dip his feet into, there again just isn’t a whole lot going on with the Green Bay Packers at the moment.

So we at OBOD have decided to roll out a Friday round-up for you, a few Packers-related items of note that [...]

Buffalo solves Brohm conundrum

It looks like we won’t have Brian Brohm to kick around anymore.

Brohm was reportedly signed off Green Bay’s practice squad to a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills late Wednesday night, according to the Green Bay Press Gazette (the GBPG got its info from a radio station in Appleton).

The move ends the up and (mostly) [...]

Wednesday wrap-up: Tauscher's time finally nearing (plus an injury update)

The Green Bay Packers got back to work Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s road contest with the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They did so, apparently, with a new starter at right tackle: Mark Tauscher.

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Tauscher took most of the reps with the starting unit. That likely means Tauscher will take [...]

How the Packers look, position-by-position, on offense

Now that the Packers have their 53-man roster set for the 2009 season, we wanted to take a look at the team, position-by-position, and give our thoughts on how the Pack really looks.

After all, we’re now less than a week away from the season opener.

I wanted to do this as one post, but it ended [...]

Brohm Conundrum Solved

It might have not been the outcome many people wanted or expected, but  Brian Brohm’s time in Green Bay has expired, for now.  After being rumored last night and earlier today, the team made it official by cutting last year’s second round pick this afternoon.

Despite having his best showing of his short pro career on [...]

Preseason game four vs. Tennessee: Not the best finish, but at least it's finished

The fourth preseason game is a lot like the five-minute conversation you have to have with your irritating cousin at a wedding or family reunion.

It’s awkward, you’re counting down the minutes until it’s over and when it’s done, you instantly forget it because it was so meaningless.

(And if it was really bad, you might have [...]

Mike McCarthy: A closer look

Over the course of his first three seasons as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy has covered the gamut in terms of success.

He’s had one amazing season (2007’s 13-3 finish that had the Pack within an overtime of the Super Bowl), one disappointing season (2008’s 6-10 mark) and one season that is [...]
