  1. 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.

    As another layer to this and something I didn't know, I just read that Eugene Levy said that Joe Flaherty played his character as slightly drunk and never told anyone. He's a just a half step behind everyone, slightly sloppy, and a bit wobbly. No one realised it until later. If you watch it you can see it!

    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...

  3. 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.

    Does anyone else have a holy grail old game you’ve never been able to find a copy of. 

    I’ve always been after the game here vs Edmonton, on a Monday night after 9/11 and/or an August/1996 game vs Calgary here, 38-36 win. I remember both being pretty wild watching live. 

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

  5. 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.
