« Previous EntriesSmith Presents an Apology, in Blog Form
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Everyone knows the best way to apologize is to do it in a blog post. And if that blog post is in support of America’s Youth, well, all the better. Which makes Steve Smith’s most recent blog come across pretty well, I think.
To be honest, I’m not really expecting people to give me a free [...]
Randy Cross and The Sporting News Don’t Acknowledge the Panthers
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008I’m a big fan of The Sporting News; they once gave me money to write it’s an old school establishment with good writing that recently relocated to Charlotte and should have a pretty good finger on the pulse of Carolina-styled athletic coverage.
Or, perhaps not. The most recent list that Randy Cross compiled for TSN of [...]
Moose Says Chicago Is ‘Where Receivers Go to Die’
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Thank you all for coming out, however we must announce that we have already confirmed our winner for quote of the year, 2008 edition. Mushin Muhammad, dropping this number (via Peter King, and inexplicably following two Favre quotes)
“That’s right. It’s where receivers go to die.”
–Carolina wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad on his time in Chicago. He [...]
Life Sucks if You’re Jim Sorgi (or, Alternately, Jim Sorgi Sucks at Life)
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Yeah, this guy can lead a team pretty well. If that wasn’t obvious.
Jim Sorgi has a pretty cush job. Sit there, don’t eff up too badly in the preseason and during the regular season, hand off to Joey Addai’s backup late in blowout wins. Nothing much to screw up. Peyton Manning never misses starts, is [...]
Lucas Surgery, Stewart Toe and Smith to the Cowboys
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Ken Lucas, who you may have heard about, is having surgery to set his nose today. Or at least that’s what we can assume, since John Fox seems to know nothing about it.
“He’s having a procedure, what you call it I don’t know,” said Fox. “But it’s basically setting his nose.”
Fox was asked if Lucas [...]
Steve Smith Is ‘Remorseful’ About Fight
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Steve Smith is sorry about what he did. As he should be. And as noted, maybe this will actually bring the team together. But more importantly, it might make Smith really, really motivated to perform in the 14 games he gets to play. At least that’s the attitude I draw from his recent interview with [...]
Steve Smith Suspended Two Games
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Well. Color me dead wrong. And color Steve Smith down to 14 games for the 2008 season, as he was suspended for two regular season contests by the Carolina Panthers on Saturday evening.
“What (Smith) did was wrong and we take very serious and he is being punished severely for it,” Fox said.
The melee came after [...]
Cat Fight: Steve Smith and Ken Lucas Rumble in Training Camp
Friday, August 1st, 2008Okay, there’s nothing cool about anyone punching another person (well, sometimes there is, like in Way of the Gun) and there’s certainly nothing awesome about two teammates getting in a fight.
However, the story of the Ken Lucas - Steve Smith training camp fight as described by Chuck Chandler is pretty freaking awesome. Because, assuming it’s [...]
