Every cartoon I draw is a judgement call. Whether it’s during the initial stages of thought process where I weed through all of the ideas I’m mulling over to find the one I think works best, or with an editor looking over roughs I send him who then helps me to pick the best one, it often comes down to the luck of the draw (no pun intended) as to which cartoon sees the light of day. I often have multiple “layers” of roughs I keep in the drawing program I use with the computer tablet I draw on, that usually get tossed once I draw the final cartoon. This time I thought, what the heck, it’s the end of the Broncos season, so why not ink and color one of the roughs I didn’t use for 9News on Sunday night. So you here you are. One from the cutting room floor. Enjoy.

It is a Broncos victory for the ages. One we will remember just as much as “The Drive”, as much as “The Fumble” and as much “The Helicopter”. Some will call it “The Pass”. I will refer to it simply as “On A Wing and A Prayer”. Tebow to Demaryius Thomas= TD. The nights passing yards =Tebow: 316. This has been, I think, the most memorable season in Broncos history. Yeah, I know, beating the Packers in the Super Bowl was pretty sweet. Yeah, so was beating the Falcons for the second Lombardi trophy. But, seriously, name another season that has been more fun? 77? Maybe. But this one has been so unexpected…Let me know what you think!

Imagine if you will, losing to the trash talking Rex Ryan. Now imagine having to spend your entire offseason with that loss lingering until next September and you can pretty much get a sense for Bill Belichick’s dilemma.

Changes on the site.
You’ve probably noticed the big changes (a new them and a new header) I made over the weekend. I do this once a year to touch up the place a bit and add a few features now and then. Gone are the ESPN headline app (I couldn’t get it to fit in the sidebar properly) and the somewhat confusing menu. I’ve added a scoreboard so you can check the scores, a DrewTube link for the Monday Matchup Madness animations, and a fun new online Bowling game for those boring Friday afternoons at the office. Try it. It’s a real hoot. I’ll be adding a store link in the sidebar soon as I add some new exclusive T-shirt designs and stuff. Hope ya like the changes. Feel free to give me any feedback. I always want this site to be fun and worthy of your time.

Have fun out there,
Drew

Geez. Talk about Parity. What a crazy couple for weeks the NFL Playoffs. Pass the Pepto, it’s upsets stomach time. Glad I’m not a betting man because it could have been ugly. Can’t believe the Patriots lost. To the Jets. To Rex Ryan. And the Falcons. So much for Matt Ryan being the second coming of Drew Brees. Oh, and speaking of Drew Brees. He’s sitting at home as well. All in all it has been quite a ride. And it aint over yet. The Good News is, we have two great games next weekend. The Bad News is we have to listen to another week of Rex Ryan, Ahh but it’s all great cartoon material. BTW. This one is on ESPN.com today

Looks like 201o went out like a lamb and in like a Bear. Da Bears are back in town. It all sets up a classic matchup between Halas and Lombardi, Cheeseheads vs Bratwurst, Chicago vs Green Bay. And I can hardly wait.

I changed the site a bit this weekend. feel free to let me what you like and what you don’t. I like doing this at least once a year. It’s a bit like cleaning out the Garage. It’s good for the soul.
