To the editor:

Re: “102nd Grey Cup flagged as one of the greatest,” Dec. 3.

As a regular reader of the Vancouver Courier, I look forward to tucking into every edition of the biweekly paper.

The headline “Grey Cup game flagged as one of the greatest” reads as pure genius to me. I attended the game and felt that it was not only a reasonably good and entertaining game, a “cake” that was perfectly iced by the Imagine Dragons at halftime, I also kind of feel that both teams won the game.

All of the debate about the penalty and how it changed the game and lives associated with it aside, your headline somehow perfectly encapsulated the game.

Thank you for that and your ongoing contributions to a thought-provoking and entertaining publication that typically knows when not to take itself too seriously.

Lance Parker,
