Training camp can be tedious grueling and downright unhealthy for those who have to endure it. Yeah, I know they’ve cut down on two-a-days. Vince Lombardi must be somewhere in Heaven screaming in disbelief, but, still, these NFL camps are not for the faint of heart. Or faint of a little too much Sun for that matter.

Sorry I missed posting this cartoon this morning. I know you all count on a new cartoon being here and I do apologize for getting this up so late. I’ll try to never let it happen again.

My latest cartoon for United Features syndicate. I just think the whole NFL process has gotten too long.

NFL camps have open all over the league this weekend. It always makes for good cartoon fodder and I’ll be doing a fair share of Training Camp cartoons in the days and weeks to come. This one was in this weekend’s Chicago Tribune. It looks like Jay Cutler has finally met his match.

The Broncos got off to a rough start on Sunday with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter both going down with injuries. I sometimes wonder if the new NFL pushes these guys a bit beyond what their bodies can take. Years ago the season ended in January and we didn’t hear from the players again until July for training camp. Sure, some guys came in out of shape but that, after all, was why they held training camp to begin with. Now players finish in February, start daily workouts immediately and show up for umpteen mini-camps during the off-season. Is it all really necessary? And to what end? Dez Bryant in Dalls is out for 6 weeks. Moreno for 3 to 4. And this is before they even play a meaningless preseason game. What do you think? Do you agree or have another thought. Feel free to share.

I’m heading out for a few days to San Diego for Comic-Con. I won’t have a cartoon on Thursday, but I’ll be back with something for Friday. I might do a few DrewTube episodes from there, but no promises. Have a great day!

Oh and there’s a new Cubbies cartoon over on ESPN.com
