Thanks for the support here on the blog. I’m gearing up for the start of the football season with some fun things right around the corner. It’s been a busy few weeks with trips to ESPN and to NYC. I’m not used to        that much travel and it’s an adjustment returning to the drawing board.

I’m trying to find room in my schedule as well for more Broncos cartoons, which I love to draw. The problem is, other than the ones I do for 9News, I don’t get paid to do them anymore. My current schedule is  full of projects (crazy full at times) that pay the bills. Trying to find the time and creative energy to continue to draw more Broncos cartoons is a dilemma I’ve been wrestling with for some time. I’m doing the best I can in this new life after the Rocky Mountain News. I know how some of you are disappointed and frustrated there aren’t more local Colorado cartoons here. I’m with you on that. I’d love to draw all Denver cartoons every day of the week. But I have to make a living too. I’ve toyed with some kind of pay plan for awhile. 1000 people giving anywhere from $10.00 to 25.00 a year could add up quickly. But that just doesn’t seem right to ask you all for money, especially given these tough times. So please be patient with me. I’ll find a solution somehow. But please know your readership means the world to me.

I’ll continue to do all that I can to earn it each and every day.

Rule Changes. This off-season was full of rule changes, one of which played havoc with the Colts hurry up offense this weekend. It seems as though officials have even been calling preseason games super close. It will probably loosen up once the season starts.

Observations from the Broncos vs. Steelers preseason game:

1. Tebow looked good
2. Brady Quinn is in trouble
3. Did I say Tim Tebow looked good.

Sometimes it’s hard to know when “it’s time”. But Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden didn’t and apparently still doesn’t. And it made for an awkward exit from a program he helped build. It’s too bad, but coaches sometimes just become outdated. Every generation is different than the one before it. How Joe Paterno remains at Penn State is beyond me. But Joe really should go as well. It’s just part of the business. Kids become more difficult to relate to as time wears on.

I’ve got some fun illustrations to a must read column on Graduation Rates in college Athletics over on ESPN.com. Check it out here.

It won’t be long before many of us hold our fantasy football drafts. I often wonder why I bother to draft. It always seems to turn out the same way. So this cartoon came to me as a reminder. Fantasy football is big business. No wonder when they can manage to entice guys like me for another year of futile frustration. Fun. But futile.
