Mike Sherman « Ol' Bag of Donuts

OBOD's Nov. 26 podcast

Happy Thanksgiving, all — we’re back with another Ol’ Bag of Donuts podcast, recapping the win over the Vikings (and taking some time to mock them), previewing Sunday’s big tilt with the Falcons, answering some reader questions and placing another call to our good friend, disgraced former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman.

A requiem for Al

What was first reported early Monday morning became official later Monday morning.

Al Harris was a Green Bay Packer no more.

The team officially released Harris, ending the 36-year old cornerback’s eight-year tenure with the club. The team had until Tuesday to decide if it wanted to active Harris, coming off reconstructive knee surgery, from the PUP [...]

Our second Packers podcast is here

We’re back at it with our weekly podcast, armed with an ever-increasing jingle bank and plenty of insults for Brett Favre as he prepares to invade Lambeau Field again. There might even be a visit in store from former Packers coach Mike Sherman! And of course, we break down the Packers’ loss to the Miami [...]

One more question involving Big Ben: What if he was a Packer?

(Thursday, I wrote about a topic submitted to us by one of our readers, Nathan Heineke. Unfortunately, I was not able to touch on the final part of Nathan’s multi-layered question. I will do that now.)

Nathan asked in his e-mail: “At what price comes winning – would we tolerate a Roethlisberger with the Pack if he brought [...]

So...why do people hate Ted Thompson, again? A closer look

Now that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does. But at the end of the day, I’m glad he’s running the show over at 1265 Lombardi [...]

Thompson shows he's willing to go for it by handing out Collins and Pickett extensions

Say what you want about Ted Thompson.

But no longer can you say he doesn’t want to put the Green Bay Packers over the top.

I say that because, as many of you know by now, it was announced Friday that free safety Nick Collins and defensive tackle Ryan Pickett had both agreed to long-term extensions with [...]

Childress to Favre: Take your time; Bosling to Childress: Give it up

To recap:

–Brad Childress said he talked to Brett Favre twice this week, but couldn’t pin him down on how he feels about returning, because Favre had other things — like landscaping — on his mind.

–Childress said Favre has “earned that latitude” to essentially take as long as he wants to make a decision, possibly even [...]

Top 10 moments/games of the decade: Part two (conclusion)

Funny how things work out sometimes, isn’t it?

I say that because, on the same day we kicked off our list of the top moments/games of the decade, Green Bay Press Gazette sports editor Mike Vandermause wrote a column in which he listed the top 10 Packers-related stories of the decade. Vandermause’s column also focused on off-the-field [...]

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, [...]

Kampman must become KGB

The Green Bay Packers returned to practice Wednesday. They did so with Aaron Kampman back in the lineup.

Kampman suffered a concussion against Tampa Bay and sat out the Dallas game.

Now that he’s healthy again, it sounds like he’s re-claimed his starting spot at LOLB. According to that same link, Brad Jones apparently rotated in at [...]
