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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
NFL Week 5 Status Meeting: Party in the USA
Mickey: When the Panthers schedule came out in the spring, I reviewed it and immediately emailed Joseph to ask, “Charlotte road trip October 11th?” That’s right, we signed up for the first official Cubicle GM field trip.
Besides the inevitable epic battle betwixt the Panthers and Redskins that would pit the two of us against each [...]
NFL Week 3 Status Meeting: Fandom as Masochism
Mickey: Three weeks in, and you should know the shape of your team. For me, tonight, this is incredibly disturbing. The Carolina Panthers have limped into the 2009 season, standing as one of six teams sitting at 0-3. In the eight games the Carolina Panthers have played in 2009 — one playoff game, four [...]
NFL Week 2 Status Meeting: A Master Course in Schadenfreude
Smokey Week two of the National Football League’s regular 2009-2010 season wraps up tonight with the Miami Dolphins’ home opener against Pey Pey and the Colts. Regardless of what ESPN would have you believe with their constant barrage of advertising, I don’t much care about tonight’s game. My Monday morning status report shows I’m about [...]
