Riders are Not Afraid to Pull the Trigger on Big Moves
Just before I start this week, thoughts and prayers are with the family of former PA Pen Warden, Jim O’Sullivan.
I got to know Jim fairly well in Prince Albert and his connection to the CFL came about 20 years ago when I got word that one of his daughters was getting married to then Rider Coach, Don Matthews. I phoned Jim to ask about the wedding coming up on the weekend and he asked me not to make it a big deal.
I thought about it, and considering Don Matthews had been a pretty condescending SOB when I interviewed him in PA, I thought why would I want to interview Matthews again? So in the only time I can recall sitting on a story, I did, and soon after I received a bottle of fine scotch for my silence. If only PA City Council had been so smart.
So on with the show.
