Lets get a few things out of the way: 1. I finally found my CubicleGM password after losing it for two weeks. Actually thats not true, just the rumor being spread across the Internets. I have spent my non-working hours a.) Journeying through The Wire for the second time - its far better the second [...]

NFL Week 13 Status Update: The Home Stretch
Mickey: Tis the season of giving, thanking, and remembering, and I found myself thinking about that sentiment quite a lot this past Sunday during the Week 13 slate. The Panthers were putting the finishing touches on an ugly, Silver Foxian 16-6 win against a 1-win team with a rookie quarterback who flinched every time he [...]
NFL Power Rankings: Week 14
Welcome to the Week 14 edition of the Cubicle GM NFL Power Rankings. Every Tuesday you can look forward to our composite rankings, as well as a bit of brief insight and analysis about each of the 32 teams. The rankings are determined by taking the average of each of the contributors here at The [...]
NFL Week 12 Status Update: The Fickle Broken Finger Of Fate
(Ed. note: Mickey is moving today, leaving the safe confines of The Rock–aka Roosevelt Island–for the far more dangerous environs of Tribeca. We will speak well of him at his funeral.) Smokey: For a moment, put yourself in the year 1919 or 1920. Imagine the situational gravity of living in the era directly following the [...]
Grizzly Friday Morning
So the Panthers laid an egg on “national” tv last night when they lost to the Miami Dolphins in Carolina. It was definitely a game we could have, and should have, won, but the chips fell differently. Our porous run defense has been exposed for, like, three straight games now. This team has lots of [...]
NFL Week 10 Status Meeting: Falcons Near & Far
Smokey: Mickey and I had wildly different experiences concerning Atlanta Falcons fans this weekend, but since mine is anticlimactic and boring, I’ll go first. The Panthers toppled the division rival Falcons with a solid ground game, and remembering that Steve Smith plays for them. It was all very thrilling. The biggest story of the day [...]
The Final Word on Billy Belichick
Editor’s Note: I continue my offseason goal of rekindling my proverbial flame with Major League Baseball. With awards week upon us, I am fairly to hardly interested in the winners, mostly because none of the balloting should be very close. I was happy to see Zack Greinke win the Cy Young (that’s the one they [...]
Disenchanted with MLB? Yeah I’m A Lost Man, too
This post has been brewing for a while now, but I must admit I was just not that excited or motivated to write it. Not excited as I have been a long time baseball fanboy. Not motivated as I am not usually the curmudgeon type. I’d rather focus my energy elsewhere. But alas due to [...]
NFL Week 9 Status Report: The Future Is Now
Smokey: This morning I was sent an email entitled “A Tale of 2 QBs” simply showing how eerily similar the stats are for Jake Delhomme and Matt Stafford this season. And it’s true, they are remarkably close in several categories. I jokingly responded by predicting the Panthers would get him in three years, a la [...]
Ten Steps To A Redskins Recovery
Today was the first in quite a while that I didn’t throw on my typical Clinton Portis #26 Washington Redskins jersey early Sunday morning and stay within eyeshot of the TV for an entire afternoon. Last week, with the Redskins on a bye week that couldn’t have come sooner, I felt like my life was [...]
