Welcome Back Webcomic!

I’m back from my honeymoon in New York and the WedWebcomic is updated.

I just got back into town and quickly updated the webcomic. Don’t expect too many posts until the weekend even though I am back in town. I have to unpack and get my regular and work life back under control.

I’m off to watch my first Cavs game on TV… the wedding and honeymoon interfered with my Cavs and Comic time… but it was worth every lost moment… except the ones I am wasting typing this…

More updates this weekend.

Check out this week’s webcomic here:

Baseball Time: Go Tribe!

One never realizes how much time sports takes up, especially when your home (favorite) team is in the playoffs.

Last Saturday the Cleveland Indians’ win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 or the ALCS took over 5 hours. Most baseball games last between 3 and 4 hours, which is not as bad as 5. On a weekday 3 to 4 hours is a large chunk, almost the whole chunk, of my night… and this round of the playoffs can go 7 games.

So I present to you some Baseball love from Young Justice #27, and remember
GO TRIBE!

Your starting line-up

The wind-up

Pavlik goes down in the 2nd - KOs Taylor in the 7th


Last night I saw one of the greatest fights ever!

I thought that in the 2nd round local fighter Kelly Pavlik was dead. Jermaine Taylor hit him with clean right to the head plus more, dropping Pavlik to the mat.

Pavlik nearly wasn’t around after the second round, when Taylor caught him with an overhand right and then sent him to his hands and knees with a fusillade of rights and lefts.
But Pavlik survived the round “as if nothing had happened,” marveled Taylor’s trainer, Emanuel Steward.
“When I saw that, I said, ‘Wow, we’re in trouble,” Steward said.

After looking like he was down and out for the count, Pavlik keep backing Taylor into the corner, but never took advantage of it… that is until the 7th round.

Pavlik regained momentum in the third, backing Taylor into a corner and landing several lefts and rights to the head. But Taylor counterpunched effectively, leaving Pavlik bleeding from the nose and mouth by the end of the fifth round.
Taylor repeatedly worked out of the corners, often throwing some of his best combinations while working out of jams. But he used that tactic once too often, and in the seventh round it worked against him.

“Now, I’m up there with all the great Ohio champions,”
“We’re a small city. We’re a town of only 92,000 people. But those types of world champions out there — it’s an honor to be out there with these guys.”
- Kelly Pavlik on his KO victory over Jermaine Taylor

Keep it local!

Last night was Friday Night Fights, tonight:

BOOM! THUD! KRACKKKKK!

Boxing is one of those sports that was once bigger than life. In the past the world champion was more of a superstar than any other person in the United States. No football, NBA, or MLB player held more clout than the champ.  Boxers were so well respected as athletes and warriors of the common people that some comic book characters started out as boxers.

Wildcat, Ted Grant, was nothing more than a boxer who put on a costume and successfully fought crime, and even helped save the world a couple of times. Tonight I look forward to watching a local boy named Kelly Pavlik from Youngstown, Ohio wail on Jermain Taylor.

Another local superstar, and player of my favorite NBA team, LeBron James will host SNL tonight. I will record SNL so that I can enjoy the fight with my friends, but after the fight it’s on - literally. After watching the hype of the local high school star, watching the hype of the Cleveland Cavs’ rookie phenom, watching the comedy of Nike’s commercials, and watching him co-host the ESPYS I can’t wait to see if LeBron and Andy Samburg collaborate on a song.

Football, Football, More Football, and a Webcomic

Today’s webcomic is a celebration of what started last weekend and will continue until February: Football Season!

Last weekend I enjoyed watching the start of the college football season, which included a win my my alma mater the University of Akron triumph over Army. The complete stomping of Michigan by Appalachian Sate was even more of a treat than watching the home town Buckeyes beat Youngstown State.

The weekend ended with my Fantasy Football League’s live draft on Sunday. Along with a large consumption of beer, I was able to draft a decent football team. Click HERE to view our leagues info.  My team is aptly named: Moonshine Monkeys.

Last Week In Comics: Batman is a Cleveland Browns Backer

no pa, football is everything!
Don’t believe him Clark it is the Bizzaro issue of Action Comics #855:
There is not more to life than football.

 

ha, the other white meat. ha!
I guess DC has finally jumped on the zombie bandwagon in The Four Horsemen #1.

 

karate kid vs weaponX?
Not only is he appearing in almost every Marvel Comic, Wolverine takes on Karate Kid in Countdown #35.

 

dog pound in the house
My stomping ground exists in the DCU since Outsiders Five of a Kind’s final issue takes place in Cleveland.
Batman is a Browns Backer.

 

Last Week In Comics is my answer to all those bloggers out there who have enough dough to purchase every comic available, or work at a comic shop. I try to read as many issues that I can and only purchase my regular titles and ones I decided may be worth my hard earned cash.

There are a couple of comics that I did not include in this week’s post… I was thinking about writing a real review… maybe…

 *EDIT 1:10pm
“Brady Quinn has agreed to a five-year contact with the Cleveland Browns worth $20.2 million, with $7.75 million guaranteed, ending his holdout.”

A legend passes, to open up the run of an awesome legacy.

Common rule of football… A passing game will open up the running game. Bill Walsh, a football legend passed yesterday leaving a legacy that will run forever. 

I began watching Football in the 1980’s and was a full time fan by the ’90s. Modern-day training camp, African American coaches, and the West Coast Offense have almost always been part of my daily NFL life. The game that I love, the game that I give up all day Sunday for would not be the same if it wasn’t for Bill Walsh.

Not only did Bill Walsh win 3 Superbowls in a decade, he was considered a genus of offensive strategy. He made the game more efficient by creating: the modern day style of training camp,  scripting the first plays of a game, and the first to have the laminated play chart commonly found in coaches’ hands. His creation of the West Coast Offense focusing on the pass redefined the game of football. Most impressive to me was Bill Walsh’s accomplishment was creating the Minority Coaching Fellowship program, helping minority coaches. Many of his players described him as an extraordinary teacher of football and life, who’s lessons will live forever.

Read more about Bill Wash and his extraordinary career at NFL.com and ESPN.com

Today’s webcomic is dedicated to a legend who will be greatly missed by many including myself.

A few quotes… in regards to the Conference Victory

“Few fan bases know sports torture like Clevelanders … “ Marc Stein ESPN

“This is special. This is so special, man! This is the best thing that ever happened to me, but listen here: It doesn’t stop.”  LeBron James

“LeBron’s mother wasn’t even alive when Cleveland won its last pro sports title.” Chris Sheridan ESPN

“People have beem emailing me that Mike Brown is a terrible coach. People have been emailing me that LeBron James has no decent teammates. If all those people are right, how the hell is Cleveland ahead in the fourth quarter when LeBron James gets his second basket?” Hennry Abbott ESPN
