I have to admit, I'm surprised. The Riders BOD have dumped General Manager Roy Shivers, effective immediately. Does this relate to the alleged demand the board made for Shivers to fire Head Coach Danny Barrett? One would have to think so, otherwise why fire the GM at the half-way point of the season? Interesting times, to be sure. I'll be tuning in to hear Rod's take on the news tonight on Sportsline on CKRM. Wow.
Update: Rod invited me to join the on-air crew for tonight's show, so of course I took him up on the offer. Surprisingly, most callers were supportive of the decision to punt Shivers. More than a few also called for Danny Barrett's head to roll. No huge surprise there.
