Grimace vs. Yawn

For those who missed Bob Slaigh's play-by-play commentary on last weekend's BC Lions/Calgary Stampeders game, here is a clip from the broadcast:

"Well, sports fans, as we head into the final minutes of the game, we have to say most of the action has taken place on the sidelines.  Our alert camera team has picked up Stampeders coach John Hufnagel yawning and Lions coach Wally Buono rolling his eyes and grimacing. Quite a tussle between these two longtime rivals for victory in facial tics.

"Wait, there's Hufnagel talking to Dave Dickinson and laughing!  'Ha ha, Dave, looks like Henry got intercepted again.'  'That's right, John. What a night! Ha ha!'

"Now over to the Lions bench, and we see Coach Buono has added a Trudeau-like shrug to his gestures. He's going to be hard to beat. 

"Big yawn from Hufnagel!  A veritable chasm of teeth, tongue and tonsils!  He can top this only by falling asleep on the bench! 

"And there's the final play.  Buono rolls his eyes, grimaces, throws his hands up in disgust. And that takes the game, sports fans:  eye rolling 29, yawns 10."
