Sports Desk Podcast Episode 61

The Winter Classic was a fantastic experience, something I will never forget. Pictures below. Greg would sit out in 0 degree weather for a playoff game at Lambeau, Sparty wins the Rose Bowl, and we narrow down candidates for the Lions newly found head coaching vacancy.

Winter Classic pictures:

 The outside of Michigan Stadium shortly before Spectator Plaza opened to the public.

The view from the Red Wings radio booth. My favorite part of the whole atmosphere was the  half blue, half red crowd. Coming in, I expected a fair amount of Leafs fans, but I wasn't expecting the 50/50 crowd split down the middle of the stadium. Made for an atmosphere that reminded me of a major college bowl game, but with hockey. So it was better than that.

The Wings radio booth was right next to the CBC set, so I had to creep on Don Cherry during Coach's Corner.

Greg said this was the coolest shot I took. This was about an hour after the game. I thought the blizzard added a nice touch.
