The Superbowl From the French Quarter

By some miraculous turn of events a few CubicleGMers ended up watching the Superbowl from the French Quarter (ya know, in New Orleans).  To give shout-outs where shout-outs are due, it all started when a good friend of the Cubicles, we call him E, and his significant other, we call her V, moved down there [...]

Were the Pats Just Tooling Up for 2010 or Beyond?

Just like that, a mere minutes into yesterday’s playoff game, an uninspired Pats season unofficially came to an end.  Obviously the official end came once the clock struck 0:00 of the fourth quarter, but at no point this season did the Pats show they could handle adversity, that they could come back from a deficit, [...]

NFL Week 14 Status Update: Motivation

Smokey: Sensing my ennui setting in after reading last week’s column, Mickey knew drastic measures must be taken. It was clear I was spiraling into a pit of despair, despite the Panthers solid victory against the Bucs.

Performance Review: NFL Playoff Predictions Gone Horribly Wrong
