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.

The NFL: Toll of the Game

November 25th, 2009 3 Comments

tollofthegame

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?

Broncos Too Little…

November 23rd, 2009 6 Comments

Panic.
That was the look on Chris Simms face on the first series. The second and third one too. Why he started is anyone’s guess. I’m not sure Josh has this “how to handle quarterbacks” thing down too well.
It was ugly.

Broncos: From Bad to Worse

November 16th, 2009 12 Comments

newbad to worse

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.

The Trouble with Jay Cutler

November 14th, 2009 4 Comments

Picks.
Lots of them. Jay Cutler has thrown 17 interceptions half way through the season, 5 against the 49ers on Thursday night alone. Now do yyou really want him back in Denver?
This the cartoon from today’s Chicago Tribune. I’ll give you a link to where they are now on they are their website as soon as I can. It’s on their sports section under the Smack header and in the archives once you’re there. Here’s the url for a Cubs cartoon I did a few weeks back. Please do me a favor and follow these urls. And feel free to leave a comment or two under the cartoon. The more page views there the better. And that goes for comments as well.

Noodle Arm Orton

November 10th, 2009 10 Comments

ortonsweakarm

Old Noodle Arm.

Kyle Orton started his preseason with the Broncos prone to turnovers. For the first six games he appeared to be a changed man. But you can’t change a guy whose arm strength best resembles that of a pee-wee quarterback. This is the Kyle Orton that those in Chicago endured. The Josh McDaniel’s offense is designed to the dink and dunk, but you still have to have a quarterback who can threaten with throwing the ball down field. One play sticks with me from the Steelers game. Orton flushed from the pocket rolls right and gives it his all to get the ball to a wide receiver who has just finished a 10 yard out route. The ball finally made it to him on the third hop. That’s not something you can coach. That’s the difference between a good NFL quarterback and a mediocre one.

Denver Broncos No Shows

November 10th, 2009 10 Comments

prime-time

Buzzsaw

That’s what the Broncos ran into when they met the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. Strange how different the Broncos have looked since the bye week. Just as we thought the Broncos have hit a pretty steep part of their schedule. Before the season began everyone guessed they wouldn’t fare well against these types of smash mouth defenses. But after the 6-0 start I think we all started drinking the Kool-aid. They’ll have a breather against the Redskins (though the way they are playing nothing is a given) and then will face a hungry Chargers team that is starting to smell blood. Orton was awful, the running game was non-existence, the defense struggled and will they please send Mitch Berger back where he came from. Clearly there’s trouble in Paradise.

Broncos Meet Their Match

November 2nd, 2009 8 Comments

Don’t get Defensive
The Broncos didn’t. I don’t like Bye weeks in the NFL for multiple reasons. It leaves NFL fans totally lost for the weekend their favorite team is off and it can disrupt the routine of players and coaches. I don’t think the layoff helped the Broncos, but really, it was the Ravens defense that beat the Broncos yesterday. That and the intensity of a desperate team. So, over all, I wouldn’t hit the panic button yet. Next week will be the real test against Pittsburgh. If they can bounce back and beat the Steelers we’ll forget that the Ravens defense even existed. Kyle Orton, not so much.
