A Time Out from Sports
Some of you know that along with ESPN.com and the Chicago Tribune I also draw cartoons for the Guadalupe County Communicator in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Their economy, like everyone’s across America, has experienced downturn. This week the local KFC/Long John Silvers restaurants closed their doors, which in a small community like Santa Rosa is a very big story. So this is the cartoon I did for today’s issue. A big tip of the ball cap to Mr. M.E. Sprengelmeyer, publisher of the Communicator.

Tiger Returns.
Are you ready for it? Naw. me either. Be thankful you don’t have tickets to the Masters. It will be about as much fun as a root canal. If you even so much as blink in Tigers direction you’ll find yourself tossed out with the afternoon trash. This year the Masters isn’t a golf tournament, it’s a reality show.

Saints Prints
Better late than never. This is a test run. I think the price point is fairly affordable and the prints do look great. The process takes you through Paypal which should send me an e-mail after you order there.

Added Link to Prostate Cancer Foundation
I’ve added a link in the side bar for those of you who would like to make a donation to fight the battle against Prostate cancer. The link is in memory of singer songwriter Dan Fogelberg who lost his battle with cancer in 2007. I had the good fortune of interviewing Dan several times in the 80′s and have always felt a kindred spirit creatively. There’s also various information about PSA testing. Vital to guys over 45.
This link will be a permanent part of the site. I fought my own battle against testicular cancer in 2000 and felt like this was the right thing to do at the right time. So feel free to honor George Karl in his battle.

Jean Fogelberg, Dan’s wife, has started an amazing website called DontLoseHeart.org. It’s a site for care giver’s who must face their own challenges in the the midst of family illness. Having filled that role for others in my own life as well, it can be a lonely and stressful time for those who care for loved ones in need. I know, not sports, but highly recommended.

The Nuggets are on the ropes. Whatever events that have transpired to get them to this pint the question now is can they stop the free fall? What will they have to do to turn this all around and prepare for the playoffs. Here’s a new poll. Perhaps we can find some answers there.

Big Ben is in hot water I’m totally for he’s innocent until he’s proven guilty but, let’s face it, his casual forays into the the bar scene seems to always be more action packed then the games he plays for the Steelers. This Ben Roethlisberger Bar Cam is just a suggestion. Hey it could fill some serious slow time after the draft until camps start.

If your bracket isn’t bust by now last night’s Syracuse upset pretty much did it. I don’t recall a tournament with more huge upsets than this one. It’s a blast to watch but not so much fun if you’re fully invested in your office pool.
