I survived yesterday in sports…Now where’s the t-shirt?
I don’t know if you feel that way but I know I do. Wow. The Duke-Butler Championship game was beyond amazing. It reminds me why I love sports so much, when an underdog can give a heavyweight all it wants and more. Too bad Butler didn’t pull it out.
But I love the lesson it teaches us all. Anything is possible. Don’t quit. And don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t good enough.
Great to see a Rockies win on opening day. Friday should be fun here at home. This might be the first opening day I don’t make it to. My Fridays have become pretty busy. How about you ? Anybody score tickets? Tell me, tell me.

Clearly this will be a week about Tiger. I only caught highlights of his press conference yesterday but what I saw I was very impressed by. He seemed genuinely contrite. Now comes walking the walk, not just talking the talk. The rest of Tiger’s week will be in a very controlled environment media wise. Hence, the cartoon.

Got a new cartoon on the Butler-Duke game over on ESPN.. Hopefully it will be posted by the time you see this.
Hope you have a great day!

Good day to call in sick!!!
Here’s your schedule for the day.
1. Make and Pour coffee. You should have done this by now.
2. Read today’s cartoon about the Rockies season (currently doing that). Laugh (hopefully). Leave comment. Remind yourself to pick up the newest issue of Mile High Sports Magazine where the cartoon is in living color. Print makes it look Cool.
3. Click on this ESPN.com link to see other Drew cartoon for the morning. Kindly leave another comment. Drew likes these.
4. Pour another cup of coffee and enjoy a leisurely breakfast reading the News. Until you get to the story about Shanahan signing Donovan McNabb to the Redskins. Scream. Recheck your Fantasy lineup.
5. Noonish: Watch a few minutes of predictable and very controlled Tiger Woods press conference from The Masters. Refer back to this link at ESPN.com
6. 12:10 Turn it over to FSN Rocky Mountain for the Rockies vs. Brewers.
7. Post game. Nap. You’ll need it.
8. 6 p.m. Order Chicken Wings and Pizza.
9. 7 p.m. Butler vs Duke on CBS.
10. Call in sick again for Tuesday. Check ESPN.com on Tuesday morning for another Drew cartoon.

Tiger Returns.
Are you ready for it? Naw. me either. Be thankful you don’t have tickets to the Masters. It will be about as much fun as a root canal. If you even so much as blink in Tigers direction you’ll find yourself tossed out with the afternoon trash. This year the Masters isn’t a golf tournament, it’s a reality show.

Saints Prints
Better late than never. This is a test run. I think the price point is fairly affordable and the prints do look great. The process takes you through Paypal which should send me an e-mail after you order there.

Added Link to Prostate Cancer Foundation
I’ve added a link in the side bar for those of you who would like to make a donation to fight the battle against Prostate cancer. The link is in memory of singer songwriter Dan Fogelberg who lost his battle with cancer in 2007. I had the good fortune of interviewing Dan several times in the 80′s and have always felt a kindred spirit creatively. There’s also various information about PSA testing. Vital to guys over 45.
This link will be a permanent part of the site. I fought my own battle against testicular cancer in 2000 and felt like this was the right thing to do at the right time. So feel free to honor George Karl in his battle.

Jean Fogelberg, Dan’s wife, has started an amazing website called DontLoseHeart.org. It’s a site for care giver’s who must face their own challenges in the the midst of family illness. Having filled that role for others in my own life as well, it can be a lonely and stressful time for those who care for loved ones in need. I know, not sports, but highly recommended.

So Cheetah might be back on the golf course, but he’s never going to be far from the links. His wife, Elin, is totally justified in putting him under lock and key and keeping him there the rest of his life. I personally think Tiger is taking the easy way out by coming back for the Masters, which is run and maintained by complete control freaks. You can’t sneeze without getting kicked out. So Tiger makes his big comeback. But forgive me if I forever refer to him as Cheetah, the Artful Dodger.

Now it’s your turn. I wanna know what you think about it all. Here’s the poll. Have fun.
