    The 2005 Grey Cup

    No comments on Monday so I guess you missed one of the best Grey Cup games ever - DOUBLE OVERTIME to win for the double E. The camera coverage by CBC was superb including one of those cablecams effectively used. The commentators were apt, not blathering on and the very minimum of sideline commentary. They manage to mic people up so that it gave more flavour including great crunching hits.

    The Black Eyed Peas tore through a hot set at half time choreographed precisely for camera angles (Fergie shaking her bootie and heaving up her "humps" for all viewers to marvel at) and all lights up in BC Place so everyone can howl "Let's Get Started" to usher in a heartstopping second half plus.

    There was a crackle that ran through the 59,000 fans as the Grey Cup was brought down to the field level by two red serge RCMP in the last five minutes of the game. The Grey Cup is a handsome trophy well adjusted to include all the names in a large base. I loved it when Govenor General Michaelle Jean handed up the Cup to the captain of the EE who towered over her, giving the bottom a parting pat.

    After the last of the breathless, thrilled to have been there comments, I watched a bit of the Sunday night NFL game. It looked squished and slooooowwww. It's not surprising that there is a loyal contingent from Baltimore that treks to the Grey Cup every year.
