"The camera catches highlights of the Grey Cup football finals last fall between Montreal and Calgary. It also uses the 'freeze frame' technique - stopping the picture and holding it at a crucial point while the commentator explains the purposes of the play. Shots of the Ottawa Roughriders in action, taken nearly 20 years ago, introduce interesting comparisons."
