Does anybody remember Mark Lee a few years back doing play-by-play for the CFL Grey Cup game when Montreal won. He was CLEARLY bored out of his mind the entire game and in the final few minutes was monotone. I didn't even know the game was over cause the coverage was so second rater. Last night in Calgary's romping from BC I sat through three hours of on and on about how junky Calgary is/was and how great the offensive line of BC is. (See post-game blog post for more.)
After the entire CBC team cussed Calgary out by supporting the 'tough' BC lions offensive line condoning their rough play against Saskatchewan (repeated kneeing is 'clean'?), they went ahead to talk about the 'clean' hit Moreno put on Burris and half of the CBC crew praised Buono for his 'press conference' that low balled the entire Calgary organization.
Turns out they weren't done there either. In the post-game Sean Millington (who is brutal to listen to) and his pal David start cussing Akili Smith for not playing through his injury. Since when does speculation and unproressional commentary, and bashing the Calgary Stampeders become pre-requisites for quality CBC productions? That's supposed to be the job of fan blogs like this one

I can understand the frustration and agree TSN rocks CBC. I also hate Millington (who doesnt?). But he makes one good comment at the end of this article:
