Roger Goodell is such a dweeb. And he’s ruining the NFL.
Goodell: Egg on His Face
Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Priorities
We have them all wrong. From constant news coverage of Jodi Arias and OJ Simpson to athletes getting mega bucks for playing a game, our sense of what is important is completely and totally screwed up. You'd think that we might have learned something from the recent events in Boston. That heroes emerge from even the most difficult of circumstances, but, no, we return to the inane and inconsequential. Amanda Knox. Film at 11.I drew this cartoon after reading the recent story about Andrew Wiggins, supposedly the "next" LeBron James, signing a letter of intent with Kansas. While Wiggins did his best to keep his signing from becoming too much of a circus, it still carried huge weight in the 24/7 news cycle. It made me think of the number of brilliant kids who will walk across graduation stages all over our country in the next few weeks, whose names are only heard as they stride forward to get their diplomas. No newspaper columns are written or press conferences held for valedictorians or honor students, but, hey, dribble a basketball and we hear all about it. Priorities. Yeah. I'd say we have them pretty screwed up.
As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

Quotes & Quips
“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.”- Albert CamusTwitter Goodies
Good Morning from Omaha,
I dont know if this was a rush to judgement or just a really misplaced sense of self worth. AFter all there were 15,000 pages of “evidence” but I guess it goes back to learning that what is important is not what you know, but what you can prove.
Hearsay, second hand things that are surmised, and a coaches bad reputation are not enough to gut a football team.
And the dust has not settled on this just yet as Vilma has not yet settled his defamation suit against Goodel.
I still love the cartoon- I guess you can get caught up in the old where’s there is smoke there is fire analogy. I guess I am guilty as charged. as a former secretary of transportation under Reagan once said after being cleared of charges- “where do I go to get my reputation back?”
That is a really tough question.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.
