I’ll still be doing cartoons for the Chicago Tribune every Saturday, for 9News every Monday and Friday night, for The Guadalupe County Communicator in New Mexico every Thursday, Monthly in Mile High sports magazine and North Metro News every week as well. And, of course I’ll be continuing my sports cartoons twice a week for United Features Syndicate. I also have a few more things that are in the works. That’s what life is like as a freelancer who doesn’t have the luxury of a job at a Big Newspaper. Gotta do a lot to make ends meet.

I’ll need your help!
I’m asking all of you to help me spread the word about this and to wander over to ESPN next week and leave a comment or send an e-mail to them. The more of those they get the better. This all is a very important step to help me to continue doing what I do here. So tweet it, facebook it, digg it, tell the guys at the office, get one of those banners on an airplane and fly over Coors field on Opening Day…Well, you get the idea.
I promise all of you I will bust my tail to give you the best sports cartoons I can every day. Because without you, I wouldn’t be blessed enough to do this every day.

Thanks,
Drew

The New Get Rich Quick Idea
I’m actually starting to think this could be the answer to the entire planets financial woes. A Pool on every corner. There’s always room for the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us. Much cheaper than a Starbucks franchise as well.

This year I won’t be taking part in a pool unless my wife and The Schnauzer are up for it. that’s the way it is when you work out of a home office. I was never any good in Office pools anyway. I think one year I was the only one who picked every 16th seed out of the hat.

Hey. I listen! A few of you said that you couldn’t read the comments that you left because of the dark grey background so, wah-lah, presto change-o. A few more of you thought the lettering neede more orange to match the menu bar. Fixed. I love your comments and I’ trying to do a better job of jumping in the midst of the conversation, so keep ‘em coming.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ON FRIDAY MORNING So please be sure to check back in for more toons and news.

Let the Mayhem begin! Get your brackets ready, your beverages on ice, and the pizza place on speed dial. It’s time for the madness to ensue.

So who do you think will win it all?
Pick the team you think will win it all and leave me a comment.

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.

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.
