Dean Edwards
Dean of ComedySome comedians have a hard time juggling their career with getting out of bed in the morning, but not Dean Edwards, he was able to hone his comedy skills while going to college and serving in the U.S. Army reserves. And though his drill sergeant didn’t always find his impressions funny, Saturday Night Live did, which is why he had a job as a regular for two seasons. Edwards has also been seen on "Showtime at the Apollo," "Def Comedy Jam," and Spike Lee’s Original Kings of Comedy. Josh Blue
Feeling BlueAs a man living with Cerebral Palsy, Josh Blue uses his comedy as more than just a way to make people laugh, it’s also a tool to defy stereotypes and encourage others to overcome their preconceived notions about people who are considered “disabled.” According to Josh, he knows people are going to stare, so he wants to give them something to stare at. Josh has been seen on "The Mind of Mencia," "Live with Regis and Kelly," was the winner of season four of "Last Comic Standing" and is a member of the U.S. Paralympic Soccer Team. Costaki Economopoulos

Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that's also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter.
