Just to review, The Fan Teaser comes courtesy of longtime buddy, Pat Schutte. The cropped photo below and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you by the early kickoff on Sunday.
OK, perhaps we’re overstating John Candy‘s rank in the pantheon of Canadian thespians (there are quite a few more than we’d initially thought; check them out here), but he’s still pretty stinking funny! Especially as we enter the holiday season, who can forget the terrific turn as Wisconsin Polka Band Leader, Gus Polinski, in Home Alone.
Shortly after Home Alone was released in 1990, Candy joined fellow Canadians Bruce McNall and Wayne Gretzky as part of the ownership group of the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts. The Argos won the CFL’s Grey Cup in 1991 and visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers today to play for the 2022 Grey Cup Championship.
Candy just a few years later, 1994, at the age of 43.
