I'm completely surprised that the Riders' Board of Directors finally grew a pair of grapes and got rid of Roy Shivers. This is a very welcome move as Shiv has been shittin' the bed lately to the tune of 4-5 on the year and an even more impressive 52-64-1 during his tenure. The firing came at an unexpected time, following our first win since week seven, but who cares? It was about damned time.
Although I agree Shiv needed to be handed his walking papers, I think Danny Barret should have been the first to go, and expect he'll be walking back to the Southern USA with his protector-in-shining-armor Shivs very soon, as apparently Shivers was let go as a result of refusing to fire Barret at the request of the Board.
Not sure what's going to happen for the rest of the season, but hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Maybe we can get Pinball to come and coach our team.....
out with one faggot, and in with a new larger one.
we just need chris walby as defensive coordinator now hahahahaa
Yeah, I'm not too sure about the Eric Tillman hiring myself. I don't know why we can't step out of the CFL-hand-me-downs and try and grab someone from somewhere in the NFL... admittedly, I have no idea who we could get on our budget from them, but who knows.
Are the Riders going to play Butler next week, and more importantly are they going to win again? I say yes to both, at least that's what I would do.
If Joseph is healthy, I'm betting he starts even though that would be the wrong move. Keep in mind that Danny Barret is still holding the reigns for the moment.
