Rockies Season Leaves us hanging

Rats! All dressed up and no place to go. That’s where the Rockies season left all of us I think. It seemed for awhile that they were going to make a run for it but in the end just ran out of gas at the finish line. It was a simple case of too little too late. That said, it was another great ride wasn’t it?

The NFL’s shocking start

It’s been a surprising start for the NFL. The Chiefs (Our pal, Gene, is cheering right now) and Bears are 3-0, the Cowboys and Chargers are 1-2 and the whole league seems topsy turvy. All in all, the surprises of the season sure are making it fun to watch and a blast to draw cartoons about.

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.
