Sorry but I just couldn’t resist re-working this old Shanahan cartoon. It says just as much now, with McDaniels as it did then with the Mastermind. You can’t run the team by yourself. When will they learn?
And the winner was…
You all picked Shanahan Crosses the Delaware, which, by the way was my favorite too. Here it is in living color. Thanks for voting everyone. This was fun. I think we’ll do it again sometime. And you can see the Virginian-Pilot cartoon below since it wasn’t on their site
Here’s the one from the Pilot…

2009: Unforgettable
For me, 2009 will always be remembered as the year a great newspaper died. The Rocky Mountain News had been a part of the Colorado landscape for 150 years until it’s closing in February. It set my life and career onto a new path, drawing cartoons for this blog and for places like 9News, the Chicago Tribune, United Media syndicate and The great Guadalupe County Communicator in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. I hope you enjoy this year in review piece I put together. It will be featured in the January issue of Mile High Sports Magazine on news stands next week.
I’ll have a new cartoon on Saturday.

Going, Going, gone
Too little too late. And now the Broncos have to wait until somebody loses or ties or goes to the Canadian League. None of which are good options. The Broncos let another season get away. Oh, well it has been fun while it lasted. Here’s a poll. And feel free to leave your comments.

The Game of Pain
Kyle Orton. Brian Dawkins . Ben Roethlisberger.
The list could go on and on really. The sacrifice we saw from Kyle Orton on Sunday was nothing short of amazing. And yet, I wonder, was it worth the price. Will it be all the great when 10 years from now Orton aches form the game he loves. It concerns me when I hear about both Brian Dawkins and Ben Roethlisberger will play this weekend after both suffered concussions last Sunday. Will it impact their lives 20 years from now. Oh ,sure, we can say they all make a ton of money. But is money really worth the agony the punishment brings later?

Ugly
There really isn’t a more descriptive word to sum up the position the Broncos find themselves in now. Three straight losses, a backup quarterback and the Chargers on the horizon, this coming Sunday, the entire season is on the line.
Didn’t we see this coming? The Broncos were fast out of the blocks but the Ravens exposed their weaknesses and every team in the NFL now knows the way to beat them. One final thought. Isn’t it odd that this Cutler trade doesn’t seem to working out for either team? Let me know what you think.
