Detroit had the Red Wings parade today, and I caught a bit of it on TV.
Sports parades are never very thrilling. Since the city doesn't have more than two days notice that the team will win a championship, there's no chance of putting on something akin to Pasadena. The parades of any sports championship usually involve a lot of pick-up trucks, Ford convertibles, and a couple of high school marching bands.
One thing that was very apparent from the parade coverage was Detroit's Channel 4 needing to re-think who they're going to have on the desk during parade commentary.
No offense to the lady sitting between the two hockey commentators, but she constantly embarrassed herself. Here's a couple of highlights. See if you feel my pain:
Hockey guy: "Well, here he comes, Mr. Hockey."
News lady: "Oh. Yes..um..."
Hockey guy: "Gordie Howe."
News lady: "Right, Gordie Howe! Did he win any Stanley Cups?"
And:
News lady: "Here's the Miller Genuine Draft float."
Hockey guy: "That's the Zamboni."
