The new cartoon caption winner

The winner:

"We forgot the tackle."

-- Bill Sturges of Charlotte

The runners-up: 

"You're like a son to me."

-- From almost everyone

"I told you, Mark, you'll have to work your way back up."

-- Randy Hayes, Wilkesboro

"It's not purr-son-al, it's just business!"

-- Suzanne Estro, Charlotte

Sometimes a drawing seems to have only one natural caption, and, with the firings of Mark and Jon Richardson fresh in everyone's mind, that appears to be the case this time.  Probably close to 95 percent of our readers submitted the same caption this time, or one that only varied from it slightly.  And it's a great one.  But congrats to Bill Sturges who came up with something different, clever, and, unfortunately, accurate. 

Thanks for all your entries.  As usual, feel free to discuss any of this in our "Comments" section.  Just click the blue link below this post and add your observations, criticisms or additional captions!

Oddly, I would've expected something to do with Fredo, from "Godfather II".
