Amazing what a difference a year can make
Gone are the sullen days of Allen Iverson. Behind Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, with contributions from Birdzilla and J.R. Smith the Nuggets disposed of the Hornets and cruised into round Two of the NBA playoffs. Finally, the long drought for the Nuggets is over. The Hanzlik, and Issel eras are only vanishing visions in the rear view mirror. And, more importantly, Melo has learned how to win. I’ve been pretty rough on Melo through the years. But I’m glad to see him take this team into the second round. The Nuggets are the team nobody wants to play. Hang on. It might be a nice long fun ride.

The House that Bozo Built
Maybe it’s the Red Sox stuff still secretly buried beneath home plate. Maybe its a different kind of curse of the Bambino. Regardless, Yankees Stadium has now replaced Coors Field as the the Home Run capital of Baseball. Can some some body say “humidor”.

Caption Contest Going Strong
Thanks to everyone for the great response to this weeks caption contest. So awesome to see the participation growing. Keep those concepts coming and be sure to invite the person in the next cubicle to see if you can beat them at it. Nothing like a little inner-office rivalry. I think that’s the way the Yankees vs Red Sox war got started.

Time Out for this Public Service Announcement
This was one of those cartoons that I just needed to get out of my system. Perhaps because I find myself in the same predicament as the guy in the third panel, perhaps because I find it so outrageous that someone is getting $42 Million just to sign a contract. The money is guaranteed. We have lost so much perspective in this modern era of sports. Players are coddled early, never told no, and pretty much spend their lives oblivious to the outside world. So this cartoon is for all of you out there who sometimes feel like we have it all backwards. That teachers and firemen and people who help people are the ones who should be given the huge salaries. This one is for those of you who feel perhaps that life isn’t fair (it isn’t) and just want to scream at the injustice of it all. This one’s for you.

It Was Ugly
It was a bit like watching the last lap of yesterday’s NASCAR race. Thankfully no one got hurt, at least not yet. Watching an egotistical young coach in completely over his head is not a pretty picture, especially when he’s the one at the wheel of the franchise you bleed orange for. To say this draft was a mess is an understatement. Perhaps the worst defensive team in the NFL, Josh McDaniels and company did little to help their anemic situation. They spent the off-season signing free agent running backs and then drafted one with the number 12 in the first round. They spent next years first round pick to choose a guy in this years SECOND round. Finally, they traded up for a 6th round pick for a quarterback I guess because his name “sounded” like Tom Brady. Hard to believe McDaniels could blow anything worse than the Jay Cutler debacle, but I think he did.
Now let me hear what you think.

Caption contest continues
Great response over the weekend, even considering the technical glitches that wouldn’t let all of you enter on Friday. Sorry about that. Technology. When it’s good it’s really good, but when it’s bad…
