RIMs New Playbook: The CEO Sneak

96027_Eagles_Giants_FootballIt was a big day for football fans, with both the AFC and NFC Championships taking place this afternoon and this evening. The games grab more than a few eyeballs every year -- last year's championships grabbed 54.8 million and 51.9 million viewers, respectively. While the numbers aren't out yet for today's games, the viewership is expected to be equally as enormous. That's why so many in the Twittersphere have been so to point out that, nestled quietly behind a hotly contested NFC Championship between the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers, was a fairly huge announcement for the maker of BlackBerry, Research In Motion. During the game, RIM announced that its co-CEOs, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, are stepping down and will be replaced by current COO for products and sales, Thorsten Hein.
