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

(Before we begin: We understand the importance of the ongoing Brandon Underwood situation and will definitely write about it, once something happens. But we’re not going to get into the speculation game here. That’s not our style.)

It’s been a wild ride, but here were are – at the finish line, at long last.

The first seven parts [...]

Tuesday quick slants (copyright Adam Somers)

Let’s face it: Tuesday is the worst day of the week.

Sure, you’ve cleared that Monday hurdle well enough – perhaps with some help of your fond memories from the past weekend – but now what do you have to look forward to? Those weekend memories (if you can remember what actually happened) fade quickly, leaving [...]

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 [...]

Top 10 moments/games of the decade: Part one

So, the Green Bay Packers’ All-Decade Team is in the books.

But what about the best moments or games of the decade? We’d have to talk about that, wouldn’t we?

Yes we would.

After all, the past 10 years have been filled with those “Wow” moments for us Packers fans. Narrowing them down to a list of 10 [...]

Green Bay Packers' All-Decade Team, part three: Special Teams

Come on, now – you didn’t think we’d forget about the special teams’ guys, did you?

Alright, alright. I tried to forget, but they wouldn’t let me. I had to put them on here.

I kid, I kid…sort of.

Anyways, here is the final part of our all-decade team for the Green Bay Packers.

Again, enjoy.

The years may pass, but Favre's fatal flaws remain the same

How could he have done it again?

That was the main thought playing over and over in my mind as I drove alone to a Taco Bell in Appleton, Wisconsin, on the cold, cold evening of January 20, 2008.

Brett Favre, our aging, yet still-beloved quarterback, had once again sunk the Green Bay Packers’ postseason hopes with an interception.

Overtime. Lambeau. Corey Webster. We all [...]

Offseason to-do list: Packers who could be released

Unrestricted free agents? Check.

Restricted free agents? Double check.

You might think that’d just about cover it for the Green Bay Packers’ offseason to-do list - outside of the draft, of course (don’t worry, we’ll be ALL over that soon enough at OBOD).

If you think that, I’ve got three words for you: Not. Even. Close.

As we all know, numerous [...]
