Pink Slippage: The Slope Is Slippery

All things considered, I tend to live in the future past. That is to say that when something happens, I tend to think in very David-Sedarisian terms of, “Wow, this is gonna make a great analogy for something else that will happen in the indefinable future.” And so it came to pass that I found [...]

JJ Redick to Release Rap Album…This Has to be a Joke Right?

It’s a Thursday in late October, and there is a World Series Game, two NBA games, seven NHL games and a Top 25 college football game going on this evening.  Yet, regardless of what happens in any of those 11 contests, none of them will produce the most shocking headline of the day.

NFL Week Seven Status Meeting: Held Hostage

Mickey: We have a hostage situation, and I don’t think either Kevin Spacey or Samuel L. Jackson is walking through that door to save this team. Much has been written (in fact, full posts have been devoted to scanning the Interwebs to see everyone’s opinion) about Jake Delhomme’s utter decline and how he’s potentially bringing [...]

What Happened to When CubicleGM Covered Baseball Back When Baseball Was Fun!?

For those dedicated CubicleGM readers out there, once upon a time, circa 3 or 4 months ago CubicleGM regularly used to write articles, I’d dare even say interested articles, about baseball.  Weird, huh?  You remember those good old days?  What happened to those good old days?  Well, brothers Cloud joined the fray and Jacob Nitz [...]

NFL Week Six Status Meeting: Tremble Before Me!

Smokey: Week six was a week of statements, be they declarations of domination, or yips of putridity. After completing three-eighths of the season (math!) we’re able to accurately the gauge where the season’s at, and we have a better idea of where the season’s going. For some, this is an encouraging time of the [...]

Avoiding Humiliation: Can the NFL’s Four Remaining Winless Teams Get One?

Just a few years ago, the notion of an NFL team going either undefeated or winless was dismissed as crazy talk.  Now with the 2007 Patriots going 16-0 and the 2008 Lions doing the opposite, it is a distinct possibility for teams to reach these heights (or lows).
Yesterday I took a look at the five [...]

Pursuing Perfection: Can the NFL’s Five Remaining Unbeaten Teams Stay that Way?

Just a few years ago, the notion of an NFL team going either undefeated or winless was dismissed as crazy talk.  Now, with the 2007 Patriots going 16-0 and the 2008 Lions doing the opposite, it is a distinct possibility for teams to reach these heights (or lows).
This got me curious.  Through five weeks of [...]
