was talking with a friend about it this morning... it's something the true greats of improv are always thinking about. How to make the others in the scene "break". Farley and Ferrell were/are both great at it, though their examples are usually more broad and noticeable. Farley was famous for taking about 30% off in dress and then come show time he would dial it WAY up just to bust the other people in the sketch.

for some reason I can't post the screenshot that was shared with me this morning, but it was a fella named Dana Gould that shared that tidbit... holy Christ did I laugh thinking about it. It's the kind of thing that comedians do to "break" other comedians. They know 99% of people won't notice it, but if other comedians do, and laugh, then it's 100% worth it...

Marshall Ferguson Mock 1.0:

As mentioned, we have the best QB in the league.... if we can protect that QB, and if our offensive weapons stay healthy, then we'll be in first at the end of the year. I'm hoping for some improvement along the DL (I don't know enough to know if it's scheme or personnel) and in kick covers....... but I truly believe we'll be much of the same the next two years. After the home GC, all bets are off... but the next two years should still be lots of fun.

My all time favourite....

ranking the Gappers at the top, as legitimate as the claim MAY be in some years, should be an automatic banishment (or a suspension at LEAST) from this site...

I only learned today that Flaherty isn't actually Canadian... we just kind of adopted him. Wild.

the way too early standings predictions courtesy @holoman........

I thought you old folks remembered everything about the olden days......??

there is only one... and it's the same one we all have: 713.

Joe Flaherty dead at 82........ugh. One of the more underrated of that group that came up together around Toronto in the early 70s. There was a whole scene... kinda started with a production of Godspell.... Marty Short, Gene Levy, Paul Shaffer, Vic Garber.... and then of course Gilda, Candy, Flaherty and others. The seeds of SCTV and even SNL started back then. Flaherty was so so so funny... what a shame. 82 still feels too young.

Edmonton loses in OT. *Perfetti Expletive Deleted*

Bob still out there trying to calm down the crazies....

those jerseys are ass, for sure... almost as bad as the other baby blues they had..... woof.

the answer is almost always US TV....

Saskatchewan and Stink.... name a better combo.....

TikTok killed the YouTube star....?

Man, Monahan is gonna be seeing that tap in from the hashmarks in his nightmares for a month...

Jeeze I didn't realize how precarious the Leafs were.... Interesting.

We was invited! Check wis Poland!

That PP is gross. And why is your best offensive player the one stepping up to fight and then getting tossed from the game?? Christ sakes. Bowness needs to fix this ****.

Just awful. I hated Shane Hnidy too but man Sawyer is just not a good TV presence.
