Temporary Travel/Maintenance Hiatus
I have to, unfortunately, travel this week. I haven’t seen my family since well before covid started and while now is clearly not a great time to go anywhere, it’s an important moment I can’t miss. The season starts on the 9th with Cowboys/Bucs, I will return for a comic that Thursday on the 9th. This week + next Sunday will not happen.
I will also be taking my spare time for the next week and probably do some mild touchups on the site, just clean up some pages, do some maintenance, update some things, polish the turd, etc. Hopefully I won’t break anything.
In the meantime, I dug deep into my hard drive and found most of my old logo re-designs from my days at Kissing Suzy Kolber and uploaded them. The pages need some maintenance as they are currently just the images, but that is part of what I was hoping to clean up this week. You can always go gander at what’s there for a trip down memory lane. Some of them are still good. You can find them in the galleries > NFL logos drop-down menu at the top, or click right here:

I also uploaded an old but great project I did turning every NFL team into a Pokemon. If you click on any of these links, this is the one that is still cool to me. See you next week!
EDIT: due to jet lag the new comic will go up on Thursday to ring in the season
Oh, see, now because you’re on hiatus it’s finally going to be the moment Desean “Sex Predator” Watson gets traded to the Dolphins.
No one is trading for Watson right now. No one. There’s still a huge probability that he’ll be suspended the entire season, either as an actual suspension or by being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, and even if he doesn’t there will be a suspension and no one will try to get him until that situation gets cleared up by the league. Also he still has two criminal investigations that could result in indictments during the season. No one is giving up anything the Texans will accept until that’s resolved
Actually it appears there is movement but the trade pick offers would be contingent on Watsons availability. The Texans want to move him and a couple teams are knocking on the door as long as their draft capital is not hurt by Watson being suspended or much worse prison.
That said I don’t think we see Watson on the field until 2023. This is just my opinion but when you got a grand jury looking into sex trafficking that is not good
There was some movement prior to Tuesday’s deadline for the 53-man roster. The interested parties (reportedly the Eagles and Dolphins) understandably wanted pick protection. The Texans understandably DIDN’T and that’s why there was no trade. Which is what I said. No one was giving the Texans what they wanted. All reports are that the Texans are now comfortable putting Watson on ice. Until the next deadline I doubt there will be any more movement.
dave, thanks for all you do! take your time! skip weeks, whatever! if you’re ever in (the Greater) Boston (Metropolitan Area), I’ll buy you beer(s).
If you’re ever in my city, Dave, I’ll buy you a car.
(I say remembering the post he made shitting on my city and how much he hated it and would never return)
Do you live in Winnipeg
Time to move there
Winnipeg is one great city!!!
I knew some crazy shit would happen right after you announced a hiatus but holy Hell, I was NOT expecting Cam Newton to get released. Maybe benched, not cut straight up. Dude’s going out sad and it sucks to see.
sounds like its mostly for self-inflicted reasons so even though i was team cam before its hard to feel any sympathy for the guy
Yeah, I’m a die-hard Panthers fan and have always loved Cam, but you’d be dumb to think this cut didn’t have at least something to do with him not being vaxed. Can’t risk not only having him out for quarantine but also the entire QB room – it’s a massive liability that I don’t blame the Pats for avoiding.
It can also be a “teachable” moment in the sense that Cam may still have issues grappling with the fact that he’s no longer starter material. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cut was done to let Cam ‘test the market’ with the understanding that if there are no starter jobs on the horizon, he’d be back as a mentor/backup. If anything, the fact that Hoyer got cut too may suggest that be the case for both QBs, with Belichick giving both the shot at finding a better deal elsewhere with the Pats bench as a safety net.
As they say, “If you’re on the fringe, get the syringe…”
I’m not so sure about that. Certainly it didn’t help, but it seems mostly to be about making sure this is Mac Jones’ team. Kinda like how the Dolphins got rid of Fitzmagic in the off-season to clear the way for Tua
He’s already done anyway.
There are rumors that Cam and Belichick had an agreement where he would be cut if he wasn’t chosen to be the starter so he’d have a chance to start elsewhere.
so, “CAM NEWTON” backwards is “NOT WEN MAC”
just sayin
That’s actually slightly disturbing. 😯 It’s a shame the rook’s name isn’t Mac Rones, because then he’d be “Señor Cam.”
When doing the comics for the past, you should consider doing some for the Giants’ “Wilderness Era” where they were kind of like the Lions during the time. Remember how the Lions’ incompetence drove Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson into early retirement? We nearly had that with Harry Carson at one point.
Hey, Dave, question. Did the money saga end with Kermahomes vanquishing Lebron? Asking cos there were no comics for Allen and Prescott getting paid
When I heard about Allen’s big extension, the first thing I thought about was the money saga.
actually in the comic he ketchuped Harden
also it’s prob over considering joe flacco no long has a big contract
Yeah, guess that makes sense. I didn’t realise that was Harden, I don’t watch basketball at all
actually in the comic he ketchuped Harden
um wtf it duplicated
Have fun on your trip Dave!
Took me awhile to stop worrying after I got vaccinated as well. First time I came home I got tested like 8 times beforehand haha. Just have to remind yourself things are as good as they will get.
wow another day lol
wow another day lol
it’s duplicating tf
I know I’m a week late, but I needed to to put in types for all the Pokémon logos. Most were based off the drawings, but I had to make the Packers Ice/Grass for the “frozen tundra of Lambeau field.” Anyway…
