Sometimes Monday just comes too quick. and other times, well, it takes 26 years. It’s long been a dream of mine to be a part of the ESPN.com team, just like it was to draw for the Chicago Tribune. What do ya know. Dreams do come true. Today I start drawing for ESPN.com once a week (6 times a month actually). Check out the Drew debut here (after 9:00 a.m. EST). Leave a comment or even better send them an e-mail. It will help so much. If you’re in Chicago check me out every Saturday in the Tribune. And, as always, 5 days a week (and sometimes more), right here at DrewLitton.com.

Wow! What a Sunday. Broncos and Brackets. Well, as you know by now The Broncos trade Peyton Hillis and a 2011 (6th round) and a 2012 (TBD). I personally like the deal ( you might not know it from the cartoon). I think Quinn has quite an upside. And for Peyton Hillis who wasn’t going to play anyway, it’s a low risk low cost deal.
But ya gotta tell me what you think? Place your vote in the poll below.

Starting Monday I’ll be doing a weekly cartoon for ESPN.com’s Commentary page! I’m excited about the new opportunity to be a part of the team at ESPN. I’ll still be doing my cartoons here 5 days a week, but you’ll find the new ESPN cartoon only on their website. It’s going to be a blast. (more below)

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

It Was Ugly
It was a bit like watching the last lap of yesterday’s NASCAR race. Thankfully no one got hurt, at least not yet. Watching an egotistical young coach in completely over his head is not a pretty picture, especially when he’s the one at the wheel of the franchise you bleed orange for. To say this draft was a mess is an understatement. Perhaps the worst defensive team in the NFL, Josh McDaniels and company did little to help their anemic situation. They spent the off-season signing free agent running backs and then drafted one with the number 12 in the first round. They spent next years first round pick to choose a guy in this years SECOND round. Finally, they traded up for a 6th round pick for a quarterback I guess because his name “sounded” like Tom Brady. Hard to believe McDaniels could blow anything worse than the Jay Cutler debacle, but I think he did.
Now let me hear what you think.

Caption contest continues
Great response over the weekend, even considering the technical glitches that wouldn’t let all of you enter on Friday. Sorry about that. Technology. When it’s good it’s really good, but when it’s bad…
