Percy Harvin « Ol' Bag of Donuts

Tossing out some Monday morning donuts: Sweeping Minnesota - yes! - edition

We here at OBOD don’t hand out game balls.

We hand out donuts.

And with the Green Bay Packers improving to 7-3 on the season with their 31-3 stomping of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, we’d like to do that…now.

If these make you hungry, well, I can’t say I blame you.

A strawberry-filled, glazed donut goes to…Greg Jennings. [...]

Staking out the enemy: Q&A with Vikings blog

Not sure if you guys have heard, but the Packers play the Vikings this week.  Sunday is only a few days away so just want to make sure you guys got that information. Got it? Good.

In all seriousness, this game is the most important game of the year so far and it goes far beyond [...]

Tuesday is apparently trade day...just not for the Packers

(Before we begin: Tuesday is normally our day to take a glance at the Green Bay Packers’ opposition for that week. As much as we’d love to write about the Washington Redskins, sorry, there was just too much else going on Tuesday. Don’t worry – you’ll get our full wrap-up of the D.C. trip next [...]

The Green Bay Packers' All-Time 53-man roster (part one)

Organizations like to pick nice, even-numbered years to go with all-time teams. Teams will roll these lists out at such grandiose mile-markers as 50 and 75 years.

We’re going a different way here at OBOD.

The Green Bay Packers have been around since 1919 – roughly 91 years – but that isn’t stopping us from selecting OBOD’s All-Time [...]

2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Running backs (part two)

We’ve covered three of the top backs in the 2010 draft already. But in a running back-heavy draft such as this one, there are obviously many more to get to.

So, what do you say we get to a few more right now? Does that sound good to you?

Yeah – that’s what we thought.

Regular season game fifteen vs. Seattle: Time to look ahead

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

You know what? I’m going to say that one again, this time with feeling:

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE IN THE (EXPLETIVE DELETED) PLAYOFFS!

YES!!

Sunday’s 48-10 home demolition of the woeful Seattle Seahawks – what’s happened to THEM? – combined with a New York Giants loss puts the now 10-5 [...]

Behind Enemy Lines

I hope everyone survived Black Friday or their Thanksgiving hangover (not mentioning any fellow OBOD writers’ names).  Since it’s a holiday weekend, we figured we would provide a little treat for you in terms of some extended NFC North black and blue coverage.  Call it Behind Enemy Lines if you will.  The Packers vs. Lions [...]

Lack of gambles are doing Thompson in

Gene sent me a Facebook message today – again, don’t bother trying to add him on there, he WILL decline your request – reminding me to check out a story, written last week by the great Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, focusing on just how much the Minnesota Vikings have outperformed the Green [...]

Regular season game seven vs. Minnesota: Heart says yes, head says no

Our hearts and our heads are often at war with each other.

Our hearts tell us to go with what we want to believe. Our heads tell us to go with what we know.

I tell you this because my heart and my head spent three hours Sunday afternoon battling it out over what to make of [...]

Breaking down Packers vs. Vikings (aka, Round Two)

Are you ready for round two?

I know I am.

There have been plenty of titles for Sunday’s contest between the Green Bay Packers (4-2) and Minnesota Vikings (6-1), set for 3:15 p.m. Lambeau Time at, well, Lambeau Field.

I’ve pretty much stuck with “Round Two” because, to me, it most encapsulates everything this game is.

It’s another shot [...]
