Finally, a cause to unite CFL fans

It's well-established that the average Boatmenblog visitor, despite being the sort of person who reads CFL blogs at the workplace, is far too busy to post any comments. But those of you who do...well, we're just in awe of some of you. And courtesy of a single post last week, that especially applies to our man Greg.

A few days ago, you may recall, we idly speculated that someone should really give Roy Shivers his own TV show. Enter Greg, who promptly proposed "a 'Coach's Corner' like segment on CBC broadcasts" to establish Shivers as "the Don Cherry of the CFL."

If you don't think this is a brilliant plan, we implore you, again, to watch Roy's parting gift to Saskatchewan last week. Replace that uncomfortable local anchor with Elliot Friedman, switch the target of Roy's wrath from Eric Tillman to every single person in the CFL (other than Danny Barrett), make sure that he keeps the toothpick and the funky shirt...and presto, you've got ratings gold.

If you think we're not going to actively lobby the CBC's Nancy Lee on this...well, you just don't know us very well. And if at least a few of you don't do likewise...well, we just don't know you very well, either.

Thanks for the kudos. You're right, I am a genius - I hooked up our stereo (sorry - no day would be complete without a Strange Brew reference)

From the rumours I'm seeing, it looks like he might be ending up on a new reality show, based out of Hamilton, called The Lancasters. Oh wait, they canned Ronnie Jr. Forget I said anything :P
