The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is back – co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis return from the post-Grey Cup fallout for another season of talking Canadian Football League on the RWB – and just in time for the opening of the free agency period! Joining Joe and Os on the RWB for this episode is Brandon C. Williams, the go-to guy for CFL fantasy fo…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast welcomes back co-host Joe Pritchard from his trip to good ol’ Regina for the 109th Grey Cup last week. While Joe’s beloved Winnipeg Blue Bombers took a loss to the once-again charmed Toronto Argonauts, he’s more than ready to talk about quite the compelling Grey Cup. So compelling it was in fact, that RWB co-host …

On Sunday will be played the 109th Grey Cup game, so what else would this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast be about? Well… With RWB co-host Joe Pritchard actually in Regina, site of the Grey Cup as well as concomitant week-long festivities for fans and podcasting types, co-host Os Davis welcomes on our friend of show now based in Japan…

Just two more games – the division championship games – remain to be played before the Grey Cup is awarded, and the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is certainly excited. But before talk of predictions and Grey Cup game outcome, please allow RWB co-host Os Davis to do something he’s not been able to since RWB began: Take a fan’s verbal victory lap af…

It’s that bittersweet time of year for the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: The CFL playoffs have begun, signaling another season’s end is near – but on the other hand, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are no longer playing. So RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis are onto the playoffs! Specifically, round 1 of the 2022 CFL playoffs pitting the Hamil…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is saddened that the games in week 21 of the 2022 season are absolutely irrelevant to the postseason picture, but not so much that RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard can’t put together a solid podcast episode. After talking the week 20 games, which showed most playoff teams (except possibly the Montreal Aloue…

Remember way back in early July, when the Saskatchewan Roughriders got off to a quick start and start near the top of the CFL West standings at 4-1? The Rouge, White & Blue Podcast sure does – nevertheless, RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard were, like, most of CFL fandom, to find out that Riders head coach Craig Dickenson had during the bye w…

The Rouge White & Blue Podcast is at the point when we’re shocked that so much of the 2022 CFL season is over; what have we been doing all season…? On this week’s episode of the RWB, co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis naturally run down all of last week’s CFL action including all the shenanigans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders-Hamilton Tiger-Cats …

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast wishes our northerly neighbors a happy Thanksgiving as RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis simultaneously envy the Canadians for making their Thanksgiving Day weekend a four-day deal through to Monday. After touching on Paul LaPolice’s dismissal from the Ottawa Redblacks – and Joe reckons he won’t see a head c…

It all seems like business as usual on the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast for a while. Co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis discuss the week that was in Canadian football: Os enthuses about his Montreal Alouettes, both pity the Ottawa Redblacks fanbase and the sad fate of head coach Paul LaPolice, admire the razor-sharp Calgary Stampeders and wonder…

The CFL might have been slightly short on number of games in week 15, but three games gave us plenty to discuss on the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast. So RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis mull over items like the Edmonton Elks’ late fourth-quarter win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the Riders’ rapidly slipping grip – formerly a strang…

When is a blowout not a blowout? Trick question: A blowout is always a blowout, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. On this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast talks about the four emphatic wins of CFL week 14 as co-host Os Davis is relieved former Montreal starting QBs Vernon Adams Jr. and Antonio Pipkin didn’t make his Alouettes look…

You want your CFL-flavored rants? Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast co-host Os Davis’s got your rants right here. Naturally, he’s got bones to pick with Trevor Harris and his Montreal Alouettes in general, another bad boy Saskatchewan Roughriders player, irrational Riders fans on Twitter and the excruciating inevitably of those Riders crossing over. L…

“Things are becoming clearer,” says Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard, though co-host Os Davis isn’t so sure after a week 12 slate that surprised him – of course, that could be because he’s truly bloody awful at CFL Pick ‘em, CFL daily fantasy football and betting on CFL football… In episode 212, the RWB reviews the week 12 games…

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard is back – for good, this time – just in time to address the cliffhanging, door-slamming, corner-turning and straight-up eventful week 11 in Canadian football. RWB co-host Os Davis has got seemingly endless questions and debate points, all beginning with “Is it over…?” such as… Is it over for Paul…

The CFL took us back to the high-flying 1990s/2000s of CFL football this week and returned to the mantra “No Lead Is Safe” this week. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast’s co-host Os Davis and substitute co-host Greg James take on the week that was by way of a lot of questions, such as… Will the Winnipeg Blue Bombers ever break out the all-blue W un…

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard returns this week, after having crossed the final two off his list of CFL cities in which to watch a game. And so he regales co-host Os Davis and the RWB with tales of Montreal, where he caught live the Winnipeg Blue Bombers-Montreal Alouettes game in good old Molson Memorial, as well as Ottawa, …

Os Davis has been abandoned by his Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard this week, as that lucky bastard is currently north of the border in preparation to attend games in Montreal and Ottawa. So, subbing in for Joe is longtime CFL devotee Greg James of the From The 55 Yard Line podcast. Greg and Os certainly squeeze quite a bit out…

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis is miserable about CFL fantasy football, betting on the CFL and the general state of the CFL East – but mostly he’s just hating the Saskatchewan Roughriders this week after the rescheduled game killed his wagers on the Argos and his DFS team but good. Os tries to keep his sanity as, along with RWB co-…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is back for another week of Canadian Football League chat and prognostication – peppered with a lot of ranting by co-host Os Davis about the bad-luck Ottawa Redblacks, the dumb-luck Montreal Alouettes and the %^&*%&^^%^ Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Joe Pritchard actually does get in a few good words edgewise, particularly…

Have CFL fans just been through the least enjoyable week in CFL history? Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard contends so in this episode. Joe’s specifically talking about the hit on QB Jeremiah Masoli by DL Garrett Marino of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the (let’s face it) pretty freakin’ weak four-game suspension given Marino, th…

The 2022 Canadian Football League season proceeds apace – and apparently way too apace for the increasingly sad teams of the CFL East. Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard tries to sympathize with East team fans – including co-host Os Davis, Montreal Alouettes supporter – but doesn’t execute brilliantly, exhuming memories of the Mon…

Well, that was an interesting week 3 in the Canadian Football League, and Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard weigh in on the games played and the games coming up, kicking around questions such as: How good could the Montreal Alouettes’ offense be once all the RBs and WRs are back? Why did the Calgary Stampeders and/o…

As much as Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host/Montreal Alouettes fan Os Davis wants to admit it, there was a full slate of four Canadian Football League games last week, with and RWB co-host Joe Pritchard compelled to breakdown week 2 and make some predictions for week 3 in the CFL. Two weeks have passed in the CFL and, while the answers regard…

The Rouge White & Blue Podcast began during the 2015 CFL season and last week marked production of episode #200. RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard were too geeked up at the prospect of kicking off CFL Opening Day to mark the milestone and so we do so this week. For #201, RWB looks back at some of the biggest stories in the CFL over the past s…

Damn right the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is ready for some (Canadian) football! To this end, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis have on Will Gertler of the Argo Fancast and Andrew Hoskins of the Turf District podcast to talk all aspects of the 2022 Canadian Football League season. And when we say (write?) “all aspects,” we mean *all* aspe…

Like the better part of the CFL-focused world, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast got a bit tunnel-visioned this past week about the possibility of a player strike and the implications for the short-, medium- and long-term of the league. So RWB host Joe Pritchard brought on John Hodge of the 3 Down Nation to talk about just that as well as other is…

The CFL Draft always brings optimism and excitement to Canadian football fans, and in 2022 we got some moving and shaking to make things especially intriguing. Joining co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis on the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast to talk about what went down (we think) on draft day is Tim Capper of the Alouettes Flight Deck podcast. Tr…

The Rouge White & Blue podcast has a good one for Canadian football fans this week (especially for those also into the NBA) as co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard welcome former Winnipeg Blue Bombers all-star wide receiver, current TSN analyst/commentator and CFL Twitter A-lister Milt Stegall. Milt discusses a wide range of topics even before going…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast has a good one for you this week, as co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis welcome as guest four-time Grey Cup-winning quarterback for Edmonton and Toronto, Ricky Ray. Ricky runs through his whole career in the CFL as well as a couple cups of coffee in the NFL game, through NFL Draft Day to stints with two storied C…

Happy New Year from the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast! With a couple months to go before the CFL 2022 season kicks off, the RWB emerges from hibernation to talk Canadian football in what promises (cautiously optimistically) to be a full season. RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard invite on Josh Smith of Pod Skee Wee Wee to get RWB 2022 started…

Well, that went by quickly – suppose that happens when you shave four regular-season and all preseason games off the CFL schedule. Rouge White & Blue CFL co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard take a look back at a very satisfying Grey Cup (particularly for Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans like Joe) and, incredibly enough, already look forward to the 2022 s…

And then, as they say, there were two: More precisely, nearly here is Grey Cup 107 which features a rematch of the still-defending champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. So, what else could this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast be about? Actually … the RWB has a bit more, including a few verbal notes on the confere…

The Rouge White & Blue Podcast hopes all those who didn’t sufficiently enjoy the CFL regular season in 2021 were tuned in to last week’s playoffs, scintillating as both games were. For co-host Os Davis: the Montreal Alouettes-Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Calgary Stampeders-Saskatchewan Roughriders games boiled down to a single question each: “Does momen…

For Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard, this part of the season is a bad news/good news situation. The bad news is that the 2021 season is almost over – and with four fewer weeks of games and no preseason, CFL 2021 literally feels like it has just begun. The good news is that it’s playoff time and the games are on Su…

If you’re still having trouble believing the 2021 CFL season is almost over, you’re not alone. Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and OS Davis might still be considered in denial, because they’re still talking fantasy football and playing CFL Pick ‘Em in week 15. Os also looks to Joe to justify the swaggering overconfidence on di…

Full disclosure: Much of this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is devoted to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers but, hey, somebody stop 'em and will change the subject. RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard talk the (potentially first) win over the Montreal Alouettes, specifically whether William Stanback should've gotten the call on the last…

The Rouge White & Blue Podcast sees the end of the 2021 CFL season in sight (sadly) as week 13 goes into the books as a relatively unenlightening slate of games if taken individually but drastically clearing up the playoff picture. No, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis can’t stop talking about the glory of Plaay tabletop gaming, but they mana…

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis avoids labeling contemporary players, teams and seasons with the increasingly thrown-around sobriquet of “Greatest Of All-Time,” but after their 45-0 demolition of BC Lions last weekend, the 2021 Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ possible historical significance is impossible for even curmudgeons like Os to igno…

The 2021 CFL season gets ever knottier, but the Rouge White & Blue Podcast has even more on the agenda than playoff scenarios – though the RWB’s got those, too. RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard touch on any number of topics this week, including the resignation of the incomparable Rod Black from TSN and thus CFL game broadcasts, and the conti…

Earlier than usual does the Rouge White & Blue podcast get to delve into CFL playoff scenarios, and this week co-host Joe Pritchard presents us with such scenarios.

On this episode of the Rouge White & Blue podcast, things begin with a diversion into CFL past, specifically co-host Joe Prtichard’s current task in recreating the 1982 and ’86 CFL seasons for the Plaay.com tabletop format. Fellow tabletop enthusiast, sports history junkie and RWB co-host geeks out with Joe on the intricacies of sports board gaming…

CFL fans waited so long for resumption of play after Covid-19 settled in worldwide, and now the “new” season of Canadian football is halfway over. And so this week on the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard take stock of whether the CFL playoff picture is essentially already set. We’ve also got other questions to con…

Since the 2019 season ended, CFL fans have been concerned with the state of the league financially – but should we have been more worried about the actual quality of play?

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers again won decisively last weekend, and Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard is freely willing to admit their insufferable awesomeness as long as the Ws keep coming. Together with RWB co-host Os Davis, Joe offers insight into last week’s games involving the Bombers and those other seven teams who played – th…

When originally uploaded, this episode got hit with some voodoo curse, resulting in some poor audio quality. This is the correct, full version of that episode. With about one-third of the 2021 Canadian Football League season’s 63 regular-season games completed, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard take stock of what th…

A shortened week 4 it was, but Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard have more than enough substance to talk about from the three games played in the Canadian Football League last week. The RWB discusses the mediocre to disappointing performances of Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Montreal Alouettes, the deficiencies and lotsa k…

The Rouge White & Blue flashes back to 1991, the year of an amazing Toronto Argonauts team boasting Rocket Ismail and Pinball Clemons plus new all-star ownership including Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky and John “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” Candy. RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis interview Paul Woods, author of the soon-to-be-released book …

Apologies in advance, but Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis do a lot of glorying in this episode about the early success of their teams, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes respectively – not to mention the official RWB CFL fantasy football team captained by Joe and currently tops among the podcasting c…
