A sad day

Sunday was a sad day for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. Competing for the Grey Cup, they experienced a tragic last-minute loss. (Well, as tragic as a sports loss can ever be. It's not someone's life, for instance.)

The Saskatoon Star Phoenix published this photo on the front page of their newspaper:

Sorry, I can't blow it up any larger and allow you can make it out.

Somehow, and this is just an observation, I don't find it at all unusual for a company that manufactures Celebrex to sponsor athletes. Rona I'm not too sure of, but Celebrex is the most appropriate example of sponsorship I've ever seen. It's just a perfect sponsor for a violent, physical sport competition. I'm sure they're aware of it and no irony is lost on them...

Just an observation...
