Sports Coverage
This cartoon I think pretty well sums up the state of sports these days. You can’t turn on the TV, surf the internet or buy a paper without Sex Scandals all over the sports section. I’m not quite sure where everything spun out of control but suffice to say, sports will never be the same.
A Few New Items
I’ve started another blog all about comics and cartooning and my life as a cartoonist called Tales from the Looney Pen. There’s a widget in the sidebar. Please check it out. It may not be your cup of tea but I’d love to see all of you join me for some fun over there as well as here.
And in the menu bar at the top of the page you’ll notice DrewTube (I know, I know, it’s corny) which will be a place to see the all of the Webcast archives. I’m aiming for my first webcast this Friday May 14th. Oh, and there should be a cartoon on Friday as well. It will be a busy week. I’m working on a cool assignment for the June issue of Mile High Sports magazine!

Good Morning from omaha,
Hope that everyone shared a great weekend with their mothers or their thoughts and remembrances of them.
You asked about sex scandals and their prevalence in the media. you remember the old line about people living their lives in quiet desperation. The theory is that we are all hung up on the fact that our lives are not what we imagined they would be as we grew up.
The sports star, the movie maven the political up and comer we think all have the “ideal” life. The house the cars the money.
The media in the last 40 years or so have been intent on building people up so they can tear them down.
The targets don’t have to supply them with the hammers and saws they use to tear them down but they insist on helping them prove that our stars have clay feet, just like everyone else.
there must be something missing in their lives, just we think there is something missing in ours. If we have our health, the love of a family, the opportunity to build a better life we should recognize that things don’t make a life.
Being with out gainful employment for the last 14 months, I can tell you that things are just that. You learn what is important. And while its nice to have things, it better to appreciate what you do have and strive to make you life better by adding better people to you life.
I have rambled on but I think you guys get the point.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

Gene,
Fantastic thoughts, as always. I can so relate. I think we lost our day jobs about the same time. I believe there is so much more to learn from adversity than from success and prosperity. And stuff is just that, stuff, that often hinders us from achieving and taking the risks we soemtimes need to take. Great commments Gene.
The sports world has gone Hollywood. Sex in movies and on TV sells. Sex in the sports pages sells, too, I guess.
