Training Camp
« Previous EntriesCats Stink in Spartanburg
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Clearly, Spartanburg, SC (hot as absolute sin in the summer and muggy as hell to boot) has been kind to the Panthers this go round in training camp. We’ve had two different fights already, meaning everyone is getting along just cheerfully. And, as Carolina Growl points out, everyone likes it so much there, they [...]
Might Be Time to Get On Out of Spartanburg: Catfight Part II
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Ninjaz, son. Ninjaz.
In super awesome news, the Panthers (via ITP) continue to be really happy with one another:
There was a minor fight between offensive tackle Rueben Riley and defensive tackle Nick Hayden in blocking drills. The shoving between the two was capped by Riley taking a boxing stance and popping a couple of left jabs [...]
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 [...]
Ken Lucas Calls the Smith - Lucas Fight a ‘Blessing in Disguise’
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 [...]
