Decisions, Decisions
This cartoon hits pretty close to home for me about now. Except I haven’t upgraded to the PS3 to play the newest version of Madden. And I really wished I would have held on to that DirecTV NFL package. At least I could entertain myself with a few Saints and Steelers games. Based on the first 3 preseason games…it’s going to be a long season. Do you feel the same way? Let me know.

If this is what the rest of the ride is like, I think I might just get off here. If you are a longtime Broncos fan, you will be feeling more than a little nauseous today. It’s not the Swine Flu. No. It’s the Broncos without a Clue. What hath Pat Bowlen wrought? Or Rot? We are witness to the complete dismantling of one of the NFL’s best franchises. Last night’s preseason loss to Jay Cutler and the Bears was the single most devastating preseason loss in Broncos history. Sure, it was only a preseason game you might say. But I think it was much much more. The beginning of the game had the fervor and intensity of a playoff game. This team wanted badly to beat Jay Cutler and the Bears, if only for some sense that maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel. They got their answer in the form of a Jay Cutler 98 yard “Elway-like Drive” that stuck the dagger in deep, most likely finishing this team’s season before it has even begun.

And I’m not sure which was worst. Seeing Cutler in a Bears uniform or Josh McDaniels in that ridiculous Belichick sleeveless sweatshirt. Hey Josh, Do the words “be your own man” mean anything to you? I didn’t think so.

Today’s View From the Bull Pen

The odds aren't good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain't gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn't find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don't argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.

There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen (that I've found yet) so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.
