Brandon Marshall Tour

March 8th, 2010 5 Comments

Brandon Marshall is finding out the harsh reality of having a bad reputation and a me first attitude on the open market. couple that with the compensation the Broncos are demanding and therein lies the stalemate he finds himself in. That said, I’m sure Al Davis would be glad to have him. I for one advocated for getting rid of him long before this. Rumor has it that was one of the reasons for Shanahan’s dismissal at Dove Valley. He wanted nothing to do with the Brandon Marshall act any longer. I wonder why it took Bowlen this long to come around.

NFL: Not So Free Agency

March 8th, 2010 3 Comments

No “Free” Agents.
Clearly the economy is making a difference in the NFL free agency markets. As owners prepare themselves for the 2011 deadline to complete the new CBA agreement with the NFLPA or choose a lockout instead, no one will admit it, but the spending is staying tight so far. I’m still of the school of thought that the Broncos are dealing with the same financial mess we all are. Maybe even more. Anyway I thought this reference to Goldman Sachs seemed appropriate.

The Makeover is Over
Yeah! I think the final results were worth it. I just hope I didn’t lose too many readers in the process. I’ll always be trying to find ways to make it as fun a site to visit and come back to as possible. Besides the new header and a swatch of gray behind the cartoons ( I think they stand out better) the thing that most excites me are the new Blogroll links. I’ve kept it almost all sports with some fun blogs to visit both regionally and nationally. If you know of a great sports blog that’s not on the list be sure to pass it along. I also made the categories more fun and easy to get to. Feel free to tip the Blog Monster if you like the changes. He’d really like that. (Needs Hot Dogs)

George Karl Card
Maybe I was too late with putting it up but I was hoping to get a few more comments from you to Coach Karl before I send the link to the Nuggets. If you’ve added your get well wishes, Thanks. If you haven’t please, please do.

NFL Draft: Hurry Up Already

March 3rd, 2010 7 Comments

Just call me a bit crazy, but I can hardly wait for the draft. I don’t know why. Most of the picks never pan out. But there’s just something about the idea of being able to make your team better, picking a Tom Brady or Terrell Davis in later rounds that’s fun. And I love the whole free agent thing too. Anybody else look forward to draft day like I do ? Or some other event you can’t wait til it starts? Here’s the poll. You can choose more than one!

The Big Easy will never be the same!

When Pigs Fly, Chickens have teeth, Frogs have hair, and the Cows come home…
That’s pretty much the mindset these days in New Orleans. They’ve already renamed Mardi Gras, Lombardi Gras. It brings back memories of Denver in 1977. No one believed the Broncos could do it then, much like the Saints now. Oh, that first championship does amazing things in the community.

Olympics to come
I’ll start cranking out Olympic toons soon, but I might wait til after a Danica at Daytona cartoon. Not sure yet. You pick. Which one do want me to draw for Friday?

Who Dat? Super Saints!!!

February 8th, 2010 2 Comments

Believe Dat!
With grit and determination, the Saints, just like the city of New Orleans they come from, have overcome adversity to rise again. Once the joke of the NFL, no one is laughing now, except perhaps in glee. The Saints are Super. For all of those who weathered the storm of Katrina, this cartoon is for you.

Floyd Little: Time for some Fame

February 5th, 2010 6 Comments

Time for some Floyd Fame.
He was, after all, the foundation of the entire Broncos franchise. Isn’t putting Floyd in the hall of fame long over due. You can click on the Floyd Little cartoon and it will take you to the Floyd Little Hall of Fame page where you can join the cause. Todays cartoon sums up my feelings about the whole thing. Enjoy the Super Bowl and check out the blog on Monday for the cartoon. My prediction? Saints 34, Colts 31. OT.

The Super Bowl Shuffle

February 3rd, 2010 3 Comments

Super Bowl Week
Here’s another cartoon that kind of sums up the way I feel about the Super Bowl. It’s bittersweet. Just knowing that when the game is over, so is the season. I’ve always tried to convince my wife to let me keep the Christmas lights and tree up until after the Super Bowl. Tis the season ya know. But then I would have two things end at the same time so it’s probably better to go ahead and put one away before the other.

The metaphor of the roller coaster is one of the most used in all of cartooning ( next to the guy on the desert island.) I’d never done one though with the thing just ending in mid air. I kind of like that. It’s certainly the way I feel after the game is over. Be sure to check back on Thursday for our Super Bowl poll and another cartoon.
