Geez, talk about your Road Rage. NASCAR continues their heated rivalries that have been known to break out into something resembling a bench clearing brawl. They really need to calm these guys down. Whether it’s Kyle Busch vs. Dale Earnhardt Jr. or somebody else going all Rocky Balboa, NASCAR is starting to look a bit like the WWE. Either take them all off the Red Bull or go let some steam off on the L.A. freeway before they get on a track.

Speaking of Roads
I’m on the road this week in Las Vegas. I’m attending the International Licensing Expo trying to jump start my career. Norm Clarke has an article about me in Mondays Las Vegas Review-Journal. You can see it HERE. Life after the Rocky has been different, for sure. I’m drawing more (as many as 10 sports cartoons a week) and only currently getting paid for two by my syndicate. My 9News work is free. We are hoping to find sponsorship for my work at KUSA, but in the meantime I find myself between the Rocky and a hard place (bad pun, I know). So, I’m here to restart my career and seek new opportunities. I’ll update you as I can and you’ll get new cartoons each day.

In the meantime
I want all of you to think of anything else you’d like to see on the blog. It’s continuing to evolve and I want to make sure I take it in a direction that appeals to you all.
‘Til tomorrow, remember, let’s have some fun out there!

Gratitude to a Great Guy
You may have heard me mention Steve Foster before. He was our Editor in charge of web content for sports at the Rocky Mountain News. In December when the Rocky was put up for sale, Steve asked me if I wanted him to help me put together a website that could serve as a jumping point (hence the fish pic) if the News wasn’t bought. I nodded my head like a bobblehead and Steve went to work. What you see here on this site is because, well, basically Steve is a genius. He put the whole site together, and, during the last few weeks has helped make some changes so that DrewLitton.com can be a little more interactive. Steve is a talented editor, a guy with a vision for the future of news content on the web, an author in the midst of writing his first novel, a great web designer and a good friend of mine. If you need a web guy, trust me, Steve Foster is the guy. Check out his great blog at http://www.americasfish.com

The picture here is my little tribute to Steve and carries a lot of symbolism. His website is americasfish.com, both of us are now kind of like fish out of water seeking to soar from one fish bowl (The News) to a brand new one. Thanks Steve for making DrewLitton.com a reality.

It’s with great sadness that I send my condolences to the family of Rocky writer James Meadow. James was one of the most truly gifted writers on the Rocky Mountain News staff. James passed last night after injuries sustained in a bike accident at Chatfield Reservoir on Friday. Denver has lost a treasure.

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.
