CARTOON BETS 2025: WEEK 1
All things considered, a pretty mild week 1 for me. Week 1 had a tendency to be very stupid and produce a lot of nonsense, but for the most part this week was pretty on-point. The only real surprise was probably the Colts, as my other misses were pretty close games between fairly even opponents. My Ravens pick looked really good until the last minute!
I wanted to take this moment to announce something new for the year, for my Patreon. So during games, especially on Sundays, I usually have a lot of these bets sketched partially during the games. I usually do this to spare me some work later on. The ones I sketch are usually the ones that are not going my way by halftime. As the games get closer to conclusion I will either stop working on it or finish it up just in case. In the past, if I end up getting the game right, I just delete these sketches and move on. This time I’ve decided to share the unfinished (and sometimes actually finished) bets that nobody gets to see. For Patrons. I’ll be posting all the unfinished and finished secret sketches after the football week is officially over. At the end of the season I might even take votes on which ones to finish, just for the fun of it. So if that interests you and you aren’t a member yet, consider joining up! It will be available for the lowest tier.
And, for those of you paid patreon members…the unseen cartoon bets and sketches that you’d never see otherwise
Wow, he’s using that frying pan…..as a DRYING pan!
Also, Purdy isn’t technically SAYING that Nirvana is overrated.
I am SHOCKED that Rodgers might still have some gas in the tank.
Allen with a wedding ring is a nice touch.
Amazing a celeb couple got married and it wasn’t a huge fucking public spectacle. The whole Kelce/Swift thing reminds me of a part in Chuck Palahniuk’s book Survivor, where the main character becomes a massive celebrity and is supposed to get married to a woman he’s never known at the Super Bowl (which, LOL is Cardinals/Colts, and we’re talking 1999 Cards), but she comes down with an illness so they send a look-alike intern to temporarily take her place. Just a fake of a fake.
Nothing surprising about Indy giving us a right tonking. You go five drives and out, with three giveaways, y’all ain’t winning jack. Only shock is they didn’t get to 40.
The Bills-Ravens game was insane. I loved it.
I think I’ve seen enough of Russell Wilson. We need to make a trade and get some fresh blood in the building. That kid playing for the Colts… I think if we were able to swing a trade for him, he could bring us out of our funk… #17, what was his name? Something Jones, or whatever. Yea, yea. Schoen’n’D’aboll need to go make a move for him.
Nah, Jones would get destroyed behind our Oline. He’d start seeing ghosts and making bad decisions. We should fix our Oline, that’s only been a problem since 2013, then after Russ retires we bring Jones over.
Sorry, my brain is so damaged from what I watched yesterday, I think I forgot to put the ginormous “SARCASM” sign on my comment. Jones is just one more player from the Giants who will end up being a far better player on another team.
Also, don’t be hasty. You can’t just fix an OLine overnight. It’s been ONLY 12 years. These things take time, my friend. I’m just sooooooooo happy John Mara kept Schoen’n’D’aboll. Their dedication to improving the team is TANGIBLE.
Over the past couple of weeks, Draw Play made a series of comics saying that the worst vibes in the league were on the Dolphins, then the Colts, then the Cowboys.
As it turns out I think Draw Play was right the first time. One of the worst 1st week performances I can think of in a while, especially considering what people thought each team was going to be heading into the game…maybe 2017 Rams vs Colts? At least those Rams turned out to be contenders.
Was Mike McDaniel really wearing long pants on the sideline? I thought he usually went for capris.
That’s a great pic of Football Moose.
