Blow by Blow with Angie and Joe

It turns out the great match this Grey Cup weekend is not between the Lions and Bluebombers, but between Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca. Fists, flowers and canes flew at the Grey Cup alumni lunch. 

It was the first encounter between Angie and Joe since the mid-1960s, when Kapp was the Lions' fleet quarterback and Mosca was a juggernaut lineman for the Ti-Cats. Apparently the warm feeling between the two has endured for almost half a century.

The dust-up between the two 73-year-olds has given reality TV producers a host of new ideas. Vance Loudermilk, President of Banal Productions, says, "We already have it on our radar. We're thinking of scheduling a show called 'Septuagenarian Sluggers.' I can see it now--two grizzled geezers battling it out over their walkers!"

Loudermilk is not alone. Also expressing interest is Royce Vinderlost, whose hit shows include "Mud Wrestling with the Stars" and "Celebrity Memory Loss." 

Meanwhile, an Ottawa-based production company is considering a show in which old political rivals would duke it out. Burt Popoff of Lowcost TV says, "Imagine getting John Turner in the ring with Brian Mulroney! Or Paul Martin with Jean Chretien!"

A source close to the current Prime Minister says there are no plans for Mr. Harper to pull on the gloves with Michael (Ali) Ignatieff. However, there is talk of a musical venture: "Sing Along with Steve."
