Hockey: Feeling Nostalgic…

Those were the days…

Count me among one of those fans who gets nostalgic for days gone by. I miss Patrick Roy. His tenacity and competitive spirit were inspiring. The Butler Bulldogs effort during the NCAA tournament reminded me why I love sports so much. I easily get caught up in the day-to-day junk mail of sports: stuff like the Tiger Woods mess, Steroids in Baseball, and dealing with the Brandon Marshall’s of the world, that I can find myself becoming jaded and cynical. So I thought this was a good cartoon to post for today. Since I have a huge backlog of material, I’ll use pieces like this from time to time, to remind us where we’ve been and why the world of sports speaks so much to the competitive hearts in us all.

Odds and Ends

I love coming here in the morning to read the comments from Gene, Sherrie, Connie Sue, Matty, Mike, Sean and all of the Drew Crewer’s who stop by daily and say Hi. It’s a great way to start my day. My schedule lately has been a blur of deadlines and postings for here, ESPN.com, Chicago Tribune, Guadalupe County Communicator and a myriad of others. I’m always trying to keep up the quality of content here and remain true to my vision as an artist and cartoonist, yet still find the balance in my own personal life. Some days are easier to achieve that than others. Yet I remain dedicated to the loyal friends I have here on the site. That said, there may be days when I need a breather day or two. I hope you’ll understand if occasionally I do that.

  1. Oh what a dream. The Avs will rise again!

    Drew, speaking for my family of fans, we’d much rather you keep your life-balance, mental health, and physical health in peak condition. If that means a few less ‘toons, here, then that is worth it. That you provide your work here, free of charge, is something we all love and are grateful for your generosity. Take care of yourself so you and we can all enjoy your ‘toons for many years to come.

  2. Good Morning from Omaha,

    Family is an essential part of life. you have to do what is best for you and your family. the cartoons are funny and thoughtful. I look forward to them everyday but if you need to take a break, take it!

    If you don’t look after Drew, who is going to?

    Your fire is being overwhelmed with irons and sometimes the fire needs a little stoking or it will burn out.

    Whatever you do, you know the crew will be here.

    you are one of those things that is too good to miss.

    Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

    Gene

  3. This cartoon is one of my all time favorites!!!! Drew you are the reason some of us laugh at sports!!!

  4. Yes, we do appreciate your perspective on the world and the world of sports! It does seem that sports teams need that one person with heart and drive to infect the whole team and inspire them to play hard and above the rim. Whatever you think of Romanowski, he had a huge will to win and it was infectious. We could use a new Roy, Elway, Ray Borque, or two. Thanks for the memories!

  5. Boy do I miss those days. I was able to walk around in Baltimore bragging about how good the Broncos were and the Aves. Of course the Rockies weren’t that good then but out here the O’s were a good team. As always it is a classic that you put up but sometimes those are teh best.

    I always enjoy your view on sports (I may not agree with it all the time) but I respect your opinion. Especially when it comes to the Denver sports. I use your cartoons to find out what is really happening out in Denver. As always keep up the good work.

    You always need to make time for yourself and your family. That is always the most important thing in life is family.
