*applauds you* Well done. That's surprisingly accurate!
Okay, what do we know about them canonically?
Danny: - Went to Dartmouth - Grew up either in Connecticut or New York (depending on which ep reference you believe) - His younger brother died the day Dan left for college. As that happened exactly 11 years before the second ep of S1, we know Danny's 28 - Has known Casey for 10 years in S1, so would have met him during his second year in college.
Casey: - He's serious about his alma mater's football team, but we haven't had an alma mater stated. He does, however, wear a "Wyoming University" sweatshirt during a scene in S2, so it's a logical assumption he went there. - He met Dana and his ex-wife Lisa at college (and they've known each other 15 years, so I think it was second year). Not sure if you know, but he was married to Lisa for ten years before they divorced. In S1, his son Charlie is 9 (So was born when Casey was 24). - Assuming he was in the same class as Dana, he's 33 in S1 (as Dana states she's a 33 year old executive producer in "Thespis"). Hence, he's five years older than Dan.
*thinks* What am I missing...
Careers.
Casey and Dana worked together in LA.
Casey was considered as a new host for the "Late Night Show" (Conan O'Brien), but choose to take a new job at "Lone Star Sports" in Dallas, Texas instead, because he'd be working with Dan. (Needless to say, Lisa was unhappy, and Casey states in "Thespis" that was the start of the end for him and Lisa.)
Dan, Casey and Dana worked at Lone Star Sports (a regional sports show, according to Dan) for about 2 and half years, and then got their jobs at Sports Night (national). S1 starts with them having worked there for a bit over two years.
So, as this fic is set a couple months after S2, Danny and Casey have worked together for over six years.
As you can see, I'm a bit of a canon junkie (I make notes whenever I convince friends to screen eps of SN *g*), so if there's anything else you were curious about, ask me and we'll find out if I know the answer.
