Monday, August 4th, 2008When I get punched in the face and my nose gets broken, I do not typically ever say “Wow! That really was a good thing in the long run!” Ken Lucas, apparently, is not me, calling the fight between he and Steve Smith over the weekend a ‘blessing in disguise’ in an interview with the [...]
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 [...]
Random Video and More Suspension Info
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008I’m basically ganking this from Sportz over at FanHouse, but that’s cool, cause we’re co-workers. Re: suspension, the Panthers, as I didn’t mention below, are allowed to suspend Steve Smith for up to four games. I say no freaking way on that, cheapshot or no. One game max is my call.
And, re: video, an angry [...]
Smith, Etc Could Be Facing Suspensions for Training Camp Brawl
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008I’m not entirely sure why Mushin Muhammad is the authority on suspensions being handed down by the Carolina Panthers organization, but apparently he is, given that he appears to be the only place ITP is pulling their information. And he thinks people could be suspended.
Muhammad acknowledged that other players were waiting to find out what [...]
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 [...]
Peppers Is Fine on the Right Side But Might Not Be a Panther Past This Year
Friday, August 1st, 2008It’s a pretty aggressive move to take a top five franchise player and defensive end, even coming off an embarrassment of a season, and move him to the opposite side. While DE’s are certainly almost interchangeable, a shift from the left to the right side means tougher matchups.
But Julius Peppers doesn’t seem to mind. In [...]
Mittens Update: Uh Yeah, Still Not Good

What? Me fail?
If anyone thought getting picked up by the New York Giants was going to suddenly make David Carr good or something, well, you deserve a nice, solid gloveslap to the dome. And, as Ryan Wilson points out, things are going as expected. (Read: horribly!)
“He’s getting limited snaps and trying to do everything he [...]
Everybody’s a Free Agent in 2008! (Including the Front Office, Apparently)
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Yesterday I mentioned the impending status of one J. Peppers as a free agent and the effect that has on the Panthers this season. Well, according to PFT, he’s not the only one without a contract next year.
Multiple league sources tell us that most, if not all, of the scouts and other football-related front-office employees [...]
