As heard on 680 CJOB the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have shaken up the organization by firing two top officials.

CEO Garth Buchko has been fired along with General Manager Joe Mack.  While word leaked out yesterday that Mack was being recommended for firing by the CEO the decision to let Buchko go was a surprise.

Board of Directors Chair Brock Bulbuck called the leak unfortunate and unethical and unfair to Joe Mack.

Former Winnipeg Blue Bomber Wade Miller has been named acting CEO.  Miller told the media at Investors Group Field he is not afraid of the term acting CEO and will work hard to bring back the winning attitude that fans deserve.

The Blue Bombers are tied with the Edmonton Eskimos for the CFL’s worst record at 1-5, and are winless in their first 3 home games at Investors Group Field.

The Bombers are in a bye week and don’t play again until Friday, August 16th when they host the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

I believe it was Reece Bobby who told his son Ricky, "If you're not first, you're last."  Well apparently you can be both. 

Should have kept the dreds.

Well, we got a guy who knows football.
