I thought this would be a fun cartoon to leave you with for the weekend. It’s featured in the September issue of Mile High Sports magazine which is available now throughout the Denver Metro area. Be sure to pick up a copy. This one might go over well taped on the fridge! Since so many of us take off Friday and Monday over the labor day holiday (not me personally but some of you lucky ducks do) I thought this might tide us through until next Tuesday when I return to drawing live. I’ll have an ESPN cartoon up this weekend as well over on ESPN.com so check back for that one. And I might have something for the CU-CSU game but I’m not sure yet. One good way to know if I post something new is to subscribe to my RSS feed. Have a great Labor Day weekend and be safe!

So far the Broncos have navigated the mounting injury issues of the preseason fairly well. Yet they seem but one step away from impending disaster. Knowshon Moreno is only a reported 80% healthy and the bigger issue remains how long Ryan Clady will sit and if the loss of Elvis Dumervil will finally catch up with the Broncos. Overall it’s made for a pretty nerve wrecking training camp.

Thanks for the support here on the blog. I’m gearing up for the start of the football season with some fun things right around the corner. It’s been a busy few weeks with trips to ESPN and to NYC. I’m not used to        that much travel and it’s an adjustment returning to the drawing board.

I’m trying to find room in my schedule as well for more Broncos cartoons, which I love to draw. The problem is, other than the ones I do for 9News, I don’t get paid to do them anymore. My current schedule is  full of projects (crazy full at times) that pay the bills. Trying to find the time and creative energy to continue to draw more Broncos cartoons is a dilemma I’ve been wrestling with for some time. I’m doing the best I can in this new life after the Rocky Mountain News. I know how some of you are disappointed and frustrated there aren’t more local Colorado cartoons here. I’m with you on that. I’d love to draw all Denver cartoons every day of the week. But I have to make a living too. I’ve toyed with some kind of pay plan for awhile. 1000 people giving anywhere from $10.00 to 25.00 a year could add up quickly. But that just doesn’t seem right to ask you all for money, especially given these tough times. So please be patient with me. I’ll find a solution somehow. But please know your readership means the world to me.

I’ll continue to do all that I can to earn it each and every day.

Rule Changes. This off-season was full of rule changes, one of which played havoc with the Colts hurry up offense this weekend. It seems as though officials have even been calling preseason games super close. It will probably loosen up once the season starts.

Observations from the Broncos vs. Steelers preseason game:

1. Tebow looked good
2. Brady Quinn is in trouble
3. Did I say Tim Tebow looked good.
