So Prince Fielder signs for millions. While teachers and firemen and policemen often struggle to make ends meet. It’s a weird world sometimes.

A cartoon about the Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen taking the Raiders job. Hey, Dennis…the clock is ticking.

“For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He marks-not that you won or lost-
But how you played the game.”
― Grantland Rice

There are so many different ways I could have approached this cartoon. I find it terribly sad that Paterno ended his time at Penn State with a horrific scandal. But I feel terribly sad for the victims it claimed. Joe Paterno once stood for everything that is right about college athletics. He preached integrity and honor and commitment to a larger cause. He taught young men to excel, not only on the field but off it as well. I almost used the Grantland Rice quote in this cartoon. I think perhaps it fits Paterno’s legacy more than any other quote I can think of. But the simple imagery of a stoic figure on the edge of eternity, with his trusty companion at his side seemed an apt tribute to the man and his mission. So today, at the passing of a coaching legend, I choose to remember him with dignity. I think, perhaps, he deserves at least that much. And more.

I know. Football isn’t over quite yet. But even thinking about it gives me the heebies. It’s a loonnngg winter ahead without it. and, no, the NFL channel isn’t enough. Sigh. Oh great season of Pigskin, we hardly knew ye.
My picks for the weekend. Ravens over the Patriots (doubtful). 49ers over the Giants (At least I can wish). I’d rather see the Ravens-49ers in the Super Bowl then NE vs. NY. Just sayin’. And you?
