Distant Replay: World Cup II & ESPN

I told you last week that I’m going to approach this years World Cup with an open mind. I’m planning on doing a few more cartoons on the Cup than I have before. But in the spirit of full disclosure I think it’s only fair that you see some of my previous cartoons on soccer. Feel free to vent or give me a high five. I like those better.

ESPN cartoons I’ve got two new ones on ESPN today. Take a look! And please leave a comment or two. Every comment there helps me a lot!

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.
