NFL camps have open all over the league this weekend. It always makes for good cartoon fodder and I’ll be doing a fair share of Training Camp cartoons in the days and weeks to come. This one was in this weekend’s Chicago Tribune. It looks like Jay Cutler has finally met his match.

The Broncos got off to a rough start on Sunday with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter both going down with injuries. I sometimes wonder if the new NFL pushes these guys a bit beyond what their bodies can take. Years ago the season ended in January and we didn’t hear from the players again until July for training camp. Sure, some guys came in out of shape but that, after all, was why they held training camp to begin with. Now players finish in February, start daily workouts immediately and show up for umpteen mini-camps during the off-season. Is it all really necessary? And to what end? Dez Bryant in Dalls is out for 6 weeks. Moreno for 3 to 4. And this is before they even play a meaningless preseason game. What do you think? Do you agree or have another thought. Feel free to share.

I couldn’t resist this fun poke at Brett Favre. It had to be done. As training camp opens I’ll be drawing you some updates from around the league. That’s always a lot of fun. From the mess in Cincinnati to the daily Tebow watch. Oh it’s good to be back at the drawing board.

Things are a little crazy in Chicago these days. The White Sox are Hot and the Cubbies are most definitely not. Know what else is hot (besides the weather)? Super Exciting Stuff on Tuesday. It’s an App-ening so stay tooned! Yep, that’s right a Drew App is on the way! So by all means be here Tuesday. And bring a few of your closest friends with you.

My cartoon for this weekends Chicago Tribune. And, now, I promise, I’ll leave LeBron alone for awhile. The scene they made in Miami when to welcome LeBron to the team made me physically ill. If that’s the level of hero worship we’ve come to then maybe it’s time to go watch some little league games.

While the world awaits the news on where LeBron James will play, the folks in Chicago mull over their strategy. Hope you are having a terrific July 4th holiday!

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.
