Offseason Vibes
I’ve had a whirlwind 48 hours that involved a dog. I’ve been too stressed out to get anything done. Luckily this offseason blows and the most interesting thing we got recently was the Eagles ring not sucking and Kellen Winslow being a horrible person. Seriously this might be the dullest offseason I can remember in the lifetime of TDP. It is so boring.
We’re still feeling the dog out and there is a pretty good chance the rest of this week gets put on hold too as we work it out. If you’d like, you can submit a guest comic and I’ll happily post it. Also, since we’re in the doldrums, let me know if there are subjects I may have missed so far that you might want to see a future comic about.
As a 49ers fan, the hype around my team that I have somehow keeps me interested in what the Niners do in the offseason.
i can’t wait for them to fall flat on their face and go 6-10 again lmao
Try watching baseball. I hadn’t watched baseball in a while, but this year baseball is really enjoyable for me (helps the Mariners are good). I know nothing can replace football, but baseball is something to do for a few hours
Problem with watching baseball, if he’s a 49er fan, he’d be a giants fan, and they STINK.
Being that he’s from Baltimore…
Maybe you should try covering other sports every now and then. The NBA offseason looks like it could get pretty crazy like last year was.
Yeah with the Cavs trying to push for Kawhi, that’d just be insane. And plus if LeBron leaves, it’s going to be the same hype like when Manning left the Colts, everyone wont know where he’s going.
But that’s also the main reason I don’t watch basketball, super easy to build a super team if you have the money, only 5 starters compared to the 26 starters on an NFL roster
Also LeBrontards and people like Nick Wright ruined it for me.
With the world cup going on, try goal line tech in the NFL. Mainly how poorly it would go
Have fun with Doge
Sammy Watkins had this really weird tweet about being a reptilian solar being: https://twitter.com/sammywatkins/status/985174403926327296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kansascity.com%2Fsports%2Fspt-columns-blogs%2Ffor-petes-sake%2Farticle208993569.html
You need to post pictures of your dog. Who cares about football when there’s PUPPIES!
standing ovation
Did you ever make a comic addressing the new kneeling policy that came about a few weeks back?
Yeah, it was the Roger Goodell maze one
There’s snow on the cars and ground outside the window.
Do you live at the North Pole or something?
This is an old picture that I took after the GB Giants playoff loss
Ha, I thought I remembered seeing this before.
Aren’t there any Timbers players at the World Cup?
I miss 2012: http://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/2012-offseason/
Is that blue car doing a dribe-by on Dave?
It’d be kinda cool having a comic where the browns become friends with the 2008 Lions.
Brokeback Football.
if I could draw, I’d send you something… it’d still be too stupid to post, but it’d be something…
also, best of luck with your doggo
How about Johnny Clipboardriding the bench for the Tigercats
Him getting water bottles for the team during timeouts. #johnnywaterboy
Not much interesting stuff, yep. I actually was pondering whether to suggest you should make one about the Browns 0-16 season(since you couldn’t at the time for family issues), but you already kinda touched on that with the last comic with Hue jumping into the lake.
Let’s dig into the dregs and see what material there is.
– T.O. is finally inducted into the Hall of Fame… and he reacts by shunning it, declaring he won’t be present at the ceremony and bad-mouthing a ton of people
– Johnny Manziel turns up in Canada. Will he be able to resuscitate his career, like a new-generation Doug Flutie? Or is he just going to flop and fail up north as well?
– The quietly bust career of Christian Hackenberg; 2nd round pick who never played a single down for the Jets despite being healthy and no trouble with the law, jettisoned to the Raiders for a conditional 7th rounder, and the Raiders look at him for three weeks and decide ‘ehh, we want our 7th rounder back’.
– Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie loses his Super Bowl rings due to stupidity
– Earl Thomas holds out demanding a better contract from the Seahawks while the Cowboys continue to court him
– The president cancels the Eagles’ invitation to the White House because a few Eagles players declared that they wouldn’t attend
– Mychal Kendricks throws a tantrum at reporters when they question him about his newly signing with the Browns, calling it “inaccurate information, don’t know who the (bleep) said that”… then it turns out a few days later that he actually did sign with the Browns
– Brandon Marshall signs with the Seahawks. Will his curse of never reaching the playoffs finally end? Or, on the contrary, will his presence on the team be the jinx that cripples the Seahawks this season?
Probably some stuff here to spin into comedy, eh. Even if some of these are old stuff, old material is better than no material, right?
I trust you to be able to pick out something(better if it’s from something I posted!) and make it into funny stuff, Dave. Your comics give me funny times 3 times a week, hope there’s always good material for you.
PS. Not that dead-from-boredom Dave pics aren’t funny a bit, y’know
Mr. manziel gets drunk on maple syrup
Yeah I’m pretty sure Brandon Marshall had gotten injured during the practices. Apparently it’s not too bad, but you know how he is
“Earl Thomas, will you be my waifu?”
– Dallas Cowboys
Was there ever a comic explaining why Sean Payton turned evil last season (choking sign at the Falcons, using a broom to celebrate the sweep of the Panthers). I wasn’t a fan of this and thing it jynxed the season.
He realized how colose he was to losing his job, and didn’t want to become a hobo again
Yea… I wonder if it’s because he realized that he had accomplished a Jeff Fisher Turkey (3 seasons in a row of 7-9 or 8-8).
What team does this dog root for? Is said dog a Cowboys fan? Or maybe an Eagles fan….? Will said dog get its own custom mini jersey to root against your team during the upcoming season. Will this dog made TDP appearances….? So many questions. Such a long offseason.
Had an idea for a comic or series of comics for ‘rejected’ ideas for off-season team building activities
Always hear about the paintballing or the like that teams go on, maybe there were other, more hilarious plans that got scrapped?
Orrr, ‘the real behind the scenes of X’ s off-season workout plan.’
I can’t believe I forgot about this, but this happened a while ago. Cam got smack talked by a kid at his camp (again), but then Cam started to get heated and threw some smack right back at the kid.
That’d be another good comic.
Crab Legs suspended 3 games. Ryan Fitzpatrick starting Wrote one about that
Atlanta is getting a American Alliance of Football team? Y tho? And by Atlanta do they mean in Atlanta or somewhere in the burbs?
Same place as the Falcons. Atlanta & Phoenix just there so the Confederate Confederation of Football can tell cbs that they are just in large markets to stral away the Arena League deal (yes, the Arena League still exists, although i dont care because i miss the Tampa Bay Storm).
Think you could make something out of Baker Mayfield pwning Colin Cowherd without the usual LOL BROWNS?
In the ear of “participation trophies,” we need a sweet ol’ blinged-out Cleveland Browns Participation ring.
The main stone for said ring will be a coprolite.
I demand that this dog become the voice of optimism in TDP. Whenever Dave is miserable or disgusted with the league the dog reminds him why we love football and then pees on Goodell.
