Promising story line for a change. Two teammates can’t get along but contention propels team to success. Maybe one is on OL, other on DL and they beat other up in practice. Being from Chicago, see Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers. Or Mike Ditka and Buddy Ryan.
Some things never change. That huckster Kaz barking out authoritative instructions, the kids wearing game uniforms for practice and a delicious warm lunch prepared the night before to be served after the 100 degree practice.
Based on the joking about Will riding the bench, he was not one of the team’s top players last season. So why has Kaz apparently promoted him to captain? Must be because of how buff he became over the summer. Kaz’s system is different from most coaches, the shower stars are the top guys.
And speaking of shower stars, there are often shower stars in Mopped Up Thorp. And today is no exception.

“Are Will and Charlie at it again? Can’t they wait until they get into the shower room?”

Never seen a football practice end with calisthenics??? Did they start with a live scrimmage.

Panel 1 makes me want to sneak up on Kaz while he’s asleep and shave off those sideburns.

Make it so…saying that doesn’t put you in line to command the Enterprise.

P1, Kaz shows why he’ll never be a State Champion head coach. For one, he’s at practice.
P2, After a long practice Dumb and Dumber try to outbid each other for the number of Jumping Jacks the team will do?
P3, They’ll pay for this in the showers!

50 jumping jacks? Time for Mr. Blowtop!

I never thought I’d hope for the Radio Pirates to steal a story, but Shiva Ellis’ timbers, give this one a broadside and sink it fast.

Did Whigham ever play sports. You do calisthenics at the beginning of practice to loosen up not after.
