So I'm not a huge football fan, but you don't have to be to recognize
that last night's Grey Cup game had one of the most mindblowing
finishes in the history of the game. So I decide to head over to
read some of the post-game analysis, and find out more about that
last-second WTF penalty and what really happened.
But apparently I just dreamed the whole thing up. It never
happened. I went to a news source that would surely have
something to say about a venerable Canadian sporting tradition, the
good ol' CBC. But their front page (see below) was mysteriously
mute on the subject.
Never mind, the CBC is a serious news source, right? Obviously
it's all in the sports section. So I click through to the sports
page, but mysteriously, they have nothing important to say about the
Grey Cup. The main stories are about some random regular
season NHL dreck. (See below).
Okay, well, obviously the CBC has decided that the Grey Cup is a
special interest story, important only to a few oddballs out in the
fringes, and has buried it all on their Football page. So I click
there. Nothing. (See below if you don't believe me.)
I kid you not. The lead story on the Football page of CBC news, on the
day after the craziest Grey Cup in recent memory, is something to do
with the NFL.

Nothing in the news.
Okay, yes, I can see there are Grey Cup stories buried in the fine print of less-interesting, non-lead news. But the lead Football story has 2 (two!) recommendations from readers, and the buried Grey Cup story has 241! Who the hell is editing the news over there at the CBC?
