Orridge stepping down as CFL Commissioner today; TSN

[BATKINSON001]

Orridge was a failed commissioner , his lack of knowledge/history and passion for the CFL seemed obvious to me.

As an American , and not growing up as a fan, I think was his Achilles heel. (through no fault of his own)

I suspect the league can make an improvement with the new appointment.

yeah they can either bring back cohon or promote pinball. I don't know of anyone else

I liked some of the things Orridge did. But he did have his stumbles.
I would have been fine to give it another year to see if he improved, but the league decided otherwise.
Perhaps(I hope) they already have a highly qualified candidate lined up. Maybe that's why they made the move.
Or with Bell and Tanenbaum becoming owners, they have a line on someone.
If the search committee drags this out and we don't have a commish come Grey Cup, the media will have fun with that!!

Chris Overholt would be the ideal choice from the COC might be tough to take him away from that gig though.
