Real Flyers TV

On the Flyers website they have this thing called Flyers TV, on which they show interview clips that you later read in the newspapers. Exciting, right? Well what you're reading now is the first draft of a Business Case for Flyers Goal Scored By TV. We haven't had much time to develop the actual plan, because that aspect of it is boring, except to write the charter.

Flyers Goal Scored By TV aims to offer viewers spice, sexy, and spicy sex.

We have many ideas for shows that would help to build the Flyers brand while also letting the Flyers faithful get to know a little more about their favorite players than the standard post-game interview offers.

The Pitch
Our office is willing to produce a weekly Flyers show to be broadcast on Comcast every Thursday night. Our budget? Only $1k an episode. Oh, not convinced yet Flyers? Well get ready, because here's where we blow you...away.

The Pilot
Today we're shooting our first episode of "Flyers Goal Scored By..." We obviously don't have access to the real Flyers so we're going to have to use stand-ins from our office. In the real show each player will be wearing his jersey, just like at the Wives Carnival. We couldn't afford that so we're making t-shirts. Either way, just visualize this.

Episode 1: Beirut Tournament
In this episode randomly paired (lowest # and highest #) groups of Flyers will compete in a Beirut tournament for the Tolpeko Cup. We're talking full cups, bouncing allowed, release behind the table, old-fashioned Beirut. The teams?

1 - Coburn and Parent
2 - Jones and Briere
3 - Gagne and Asham
4 - Carcillo and Timonen
5 - Lupul and Biron
6 - Carter and Alberts
7 - Richards and Powe
8 - Hartnell and Cote
9 - Knuble and Nitty
10 - Carle and Giroux

When we actually shoot this episode on the roof of the Wach on a sunny Spring day I'd have my money on either Team Barber (7) or Team Schultz (8) taking the Tolpeko Cup. As it stands, Fran and I got stuck playing the parts of Jones and Briere, so look for an upset. The mock trial, if you will, kicks off at 12. We'll keep you updated with pictures and bracket changes as we progress through the tourney.

We're up against Stephanie (Coburn) and the ever sexual Steve (Parent) in the first round....so it shouldn't take that long until I can update you on their defeat.

Don't you wish your office would do something like this on a Tuesday?!?

Update 1 - 12:40 PM
Well that didn't take long. Knocked out by Braydon Coburn and Ryan Parent in less than an hour...how do you like that? Also, the office camera has been dropped in a plastic cup of ice cold Natty Light. Things are not going great, but I'm drinking beer and you're not!

Carcillo and Timonen have a 2-1 advantage on Gags and Ash.

Lupul and Biron are getting blow away 5-1 by Carter and Alberts.

Richards and Powe are knotted up with Hartsy and Riles, with 2 cups remaining each.

And Carle and Giroux just beat Knuble and Nitty with 4 cups left on the table...that's a lot od dank to drink!

Update 2 - 1:15 PM
First round is over and we've already discovered a tiny flaw in our brackets - we only have 5 teams for round 2! That's why the talent (Me and Fran obviously) are getting a second crack at the Cup, this time as Berube and McIlhergny or however the shit you spell his name!

ROund 2
Carvillo and Timonen vs. Berube and McIlhergny
Richards and Power vs. Carter and Alberts
Coburn and Parent vs. Carle and Giroux

Get your peanuts heeeeere!

Update 3 - 2:00 PM
When we actually shoot this we're going to need some more controls, and possibly some referees. There's no way the Flyers are going to let us air Braydon Coburn making out with Mike Knuble. That and it's delaying our progress significantly. RIchards and Powe already destroyed Carter and Alberts with a 6-0 rout. That means Alberts and Carter finishe their own and #18's and #36's. That's 6 beers a piece in the enxt 20 minutes. Things should get exotic. Like a bird.

Update 4 - 2:30 PM
Has anyone seen Craig Berube? We were about to knock off Carcillo and Kimmo! Braydon returned back to her game and they beat Carle and Giroux in overtime. Everyone's saying that they're going to call our game if Fran doens't gett his ass back here!

Update 5 - 3:30
Bad news for all you Flyers fans! Matt Carle was caught smoking cigarretes in teh bathroom and Joffery Lupul is going to be out the rest of the season with a rubbed groin!!

Update 6 - 4:38
Who ate my socks!!!
