(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 [...]

NFL Week 12 Status Update: The Fickle Broken Finger Of Fate
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 Six Status Meeting: Tremble Before Me!
Smokey: Week six was a week of statements, be they declarations of domination, or yips of putridity.

Aside from a tangential investment in the Bills, I was staring down the barrel of an autumn weekend wherein I had no rooting interest in pro football. My mind wrestled with this idea while my liver wrestled with the lack of booze being delivered before [...]
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 [...]
NFL Oh-Nine Previews: NFC South
Back when Mickey and I were doing our own thang at the Sports Brethren, we would double-team a weekly post about every Carolina Panthers game. We might not see eye-to-eye on everything, but we always brung the heat and the passion in our weekly chronicles of the NFL’s greatest team. Here at the Cube, we’re [...]
