Mickey: If you look around the sports landscape these here days, you have no choice but to come to one conclusion: the South is much better at the sports that matter than any other region.
Disclaimer: We are, of course, referring to the South in the most 21st Century War of Northern Aggression ways. Central [...]

Weak Side Late Assignment: The South Done Rose
Now I Know How Natalie Imbruglia Feels
For all my wacky antics, I’m a guy who generally likes routines. Compartment-alizing my life helps keep things nice and tidy and that makes it all much more manageable. Take the Carolina Panthers, for example. So far, there’s been three major chapters in my life vis a vis the Cats. The honeymoon period from the [...]
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. In a move requiring both cunning and daring, he forwarded along some pithy, far-flung anti-Obama email he’d run [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
NFL Week 8 Status Report: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Peppered
Smokey: I was gonna start out this status report by pointing out how glaringly wrong Bill Simmons was in his prediction of this past Sunday’s Cardinals/Panthers game. Lucky for ol’ Bill, I spent the weekend enraptured in the spacious lap of luxury one can find in the paradisiacal region known as NoPho, and thus, [...]
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 [...]
