« Previous EntriesShaun Alexander Is Still Unemployed: Clearly, the NFL Hates Christians
Monday, June 30th, 2008The ridiculousness of Shannon Owens’ recent article in the Orlando Sentinel cannot be overstated. Ms. Owens heavily infers that there is some sort of anti-Jesus conspiracy afoot in the NFL, whereby Shaun Alexander is unable to procure employment because he is too religious in his personal life. This is, of course, beyond stupid.
Honestly. I mean, [...]
Time to Get Your Gamble on: Panthers’ Super Bowl Odds
Thursday, June 26th, 2008I’m not a great sports bettor. (I’m much better at cards.) But I do know a good homerism fueled speculation value bet when I see one. And that would be the Carolina Panthers and their Super Bowl odds.
Carolina Panthers
40/1
Now, personally, I would recommend setting up an account and putting roughly $500 on that today. (Or [...]
Blog Wars: Saints v. Panthers
Thursday, June 26th, 2008I’m not sure how I stumbled across this little blog skirmish, but apparently there’s a heated, albeit humorous, fight going down between Chicks in the Huddle (a Saints blog) and Cat’s Crave (a Panthers blog). Cat’s Crave posted something about the top 10 reasons why the Saints suck. It’s not particularly hysterical (imho) and is [...]
We Demand a Recount: Mittens Not the Worst Quarterback of All Time
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Pro Football Reference is a highly valuable resource of statistical goodness. If you like stats and like sports, I suggest checking it out. However, I may be inclined to disagree with Chase Stuart’s recent post detailing the worst quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.
You see, the blog’s patron saint/namesake checked in as only the [...]
Please Don’t Call Me ‘Pacman’
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008It’s a sad day in the history of the NFL when Pacman Jones drops his name. I’ll be honest — and I believe I’m on record as calling him an idiot and saying bad things about him — I heart the Pacman. He’s a fascinating figure in sports media history, because he a) made “make [...]
Fast Train to Tampa?
Monday, June 16th, 2008Since the boys at ITP already semi-ganked the Willie Nelson joke, I’m going the other way with it. Anyway, the point of it all is that the Panthers are thinking about Tampa, and not in the way that you would think.
Because normally, they’re discussing how to take out another one of Chucky’s quarterbacks arch-rival Tampa [...]
Jonathan Stewart Kicks it at the Madden NFL Rookie Challenge
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Via the always media savvy Miss Gossip at FanHouse comes this video interview with several NFL rookies at the Madden NFL Rookie Challenge. Our boy, Jonathan Stewart, was one of the rooks. And he was getting lots of shut eye over the weekend (excellent news for Panthers fans) and doing some rambling at the end [...]
Former Panther Jason Peter Details NFL Drug Use in New Novel
Monday, June 9th, 2008Via MDS comes this excerpt from a Peter King column from a Jason Peter book (yes, I know) in which a Peter, a former Panther, discusses his rampant drug use during his four seasons as an NFL player.
Vicodin. Ambien. Cocaine. Crack. Heroin. GHB, the date-rape drug. Lots of others I’ve never heard of. He’s [...]
