The Canadian Press is reporting SportsBettingDime.com has released odds on candidates to replace Don Cherry after the commentator was sacked by Sportsnet for a rant about not wearing poppies on his "Coach's Corner" segment on Saturday.

The site also is taking odds on what Cherry does next, with working for another media organization the favourite.

If he goes into politics, the odds consider Cherry's most likely destination to be under Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Conservative party.

Cherry is listed as a 2,000-1 pick to join the NDP.
