So much for the “BIG” match-up of Aaron Rodgers vs. Drew Brees. The NFL is crazy that way. You can never count on anything to happen the way you think it will. That said, after seeing this weekends games I feel like no one will be able to beat the Patriots. Their tandem of tight ends is unreal. If the NFL is looking to outlaw something next year they can start with Rob Gronkowski. I’ve never seen a tight end that has the intangibles that he has. The guy should be illegal.

So the Broncos are done for this year, but there are tons of questions that need answers going forward. But there is a lot of time to deal with those. I personally just want to reminisce over the great season it has been. The NFL network had a terrific Tebow-in-review piece that played over the weekend. Great stuff if you can catch it playing again.

I want to thank everyone who offered some feedback on the site. So you can see I made yet another change here, bringing back the scrolling through cartoons from top to bottom and obviously a color change. Sometimes I just need to mix it up a bit. If you like it let me know. If not please do the same. There’s a pretty good chance I will add a permanent slider at the top of the blog so you can scroll through 10 or 12 of the most recent cartoons. But I need to play with that a bit first before I add it. Thanks again for your input.

Today's cartoon was drawn for the Chicago Tribune

I had a blast on my latest cartoon for the Tribune. I like the perspective on this one with the Packers race car closer to the camera so to speak. And I finally got the tires to look right a well thanks to Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and all those years of seeing his Rat Fink art.

Calendars are in the studio and start shipping on Monday. They look great. More sneak peeks coming. Trying to get some signings set up around Denver. Please order sooner rather than later because supplies are limited.

Todays cartoon was drawn for 9News

It was ugly. As ugly as those silly Cheeseheads Packers fans wear. Clearly, the Tebow controversy, is NOT the issue. The Broncos are in the very first phase of a rebuilding project. Trying to put the Broncos back together after Josh McDaniels dismantled them is going to take more than a few seasons. Sure I think Tebow would make it more fun to watch, because obviously what we saw yesterday was downright painful to witness. But even Tebow isn’t going to be able to make this miserable start to the season any more bearable. It’s time to put the high expectations back in the hope chest and accept the Broncos as they are. I know. It’s not easy. But it is what it is.

Here’s the sketchbook I did for ESPN.com today. I was asked to draw the Steelers, and Kurt Snibbe was asked to draw the Packers. This one was a blast to do, although it means I’m getting to bed at 5:00 am Denver time. Enjoy.

And so it goes…Lombardi goes home. where it belongs.
I’ve done a whole sketchbook (from the Steelers viewpoint) that will appear on ESPN.com sometime this Monday morning and I’ll add it here at 9:00 am MST. so be sure to check back. It’s a hoot.
