Passion
You could describe Tim “The Barrel Man” McKernan in that one simple word. I love people with passion. People who follow their hearts to places so few us dare to tread. Tim was one of those people. I had the great pleasure of talking to Tim during a taping he and I were doing with NFL Films for the History of the Denver Broncos DVD. McKernan was larger than life, a guy who loved to tell stories and share his love for the Broncos. He knew that the barrel thing was one way to show his passion for all things Orange. But he also knew it brought smiles to fans throughout the NFL, regardless of whether you were a Broncos fan or not. They figured any guy who would run around half naked in a barrel in the midst of a snow storm to watch his favorite team was the truest definition of a real fan and that resonated with people. He exuded joy. And that is something we could all use a little more of these days.

Bowden goes, but not too quietly.
This one is in black and white. I had a late freelance deadline. Hope you like it regardless.

Calendar Sales are going strong!
Calendar sales are going well. I just want to remind you that if you plan to order you should do so early so that it gets to you in time for the holidays. There is a 6 day turnaround time on calendars (they are print on demand) and that doesn’t include shipping. Just an FYI.

Tiger’s Trouble
I actually debated on whether or not I wanted to do a Tiger Woods cartoon. I just didn’t want to do the usual “drive” gag cartoon idea. 9News asked me give it a thought and this is what I arrived at.

The whole story is tragic. And the way we look at Tiger will never ever be the same.

Here They Are
The official Arbys-Birdman-Litton cartoon collectible glasses.
They are rolling out this week at Arby’s restaurants statewide for $1.89 with a purchase of a sandwich. Thanks to Mark Bryant, The Birdman’s go-to guy (his agent) for making this happen. There are three glasses in the set. Collect them all. Some of the proceeds got to the Alliance for Choice in Education, a very worthy cause.
These pictures aren’t the best but they’ll give you some idea of what they look like.

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.
