With so much going on in the world, Joel Gasson and John Fraser are back to talk about a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't really have to do with anything -- especially football.  Before getting into a bunch of nonsense, like theories about kids' shows and interesting international football team names, Joel and John get a little serious and talk about the importance of supporting local bus...

This week on the 3Down Green Cast with Joel Gasson and John Fraser, Fraser has to make one of the toughest decisions of his life. We learned this past weekend that there's a new kicker after John's heart -- Ernesto Lacayo of the Seattle Dragons. His football background is simply incredible and it might mean bad news for Sergio Castillo.  After that, Joel and John discuss a potential change...

The day football fans have been waiting for finally came! No, not the opening of CFL Free Agency but the opening weekend in the XFL.  Joel Gasson is joined this week by Dan Plaster of CBC as John Fraser is slacking off in Mexico.  They discuss what they liked about the XFL and how fun the games were.

After a long hiatus, the Green Cast is back for 2020.  Joel Gasson and John Fraser talk about the Riders holes heading into free agency and how important it was that the team got Cameron Judge under contract (eventually, we do get to football but you'll have to get through some dumb before that.)  We also chat about what could happen to Micah Johnson, the QB situation in Toronto and Chris Stre...

It was a big weekend for Green Cast co-host John Fraser, no not because his Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to the Grey Cup, but because the Bombers actually won a game with him in attendance. They had lost like 26 straight before that.  So, naturally John is relieved that he'll be able to go to the games in the future knowing they might win.  Joel and John also talk about the Bombers big win...

With award season right around the corner, they also talk about Fajardo's chances there and talk about the other possible team nomi...

A tough loss for the Riders in Calgary but not all is lost. Joel Gasson and John Fraser agree with 3DownNation's Ryan Ballentine that the score flattered the Riders a bit, we also feel they showed enough to lead us to believe they could win there if the West Final is in Calgary.  We also talk about that game's officiating and get into a broader discussion about attendance across profession...

The CFL Trade Deadline has come and gone without much of anything happening, except for one trade. That one trade was enough to throw our entire opening segment out the window as John was ready and willing to go off on the Bombers for not adding a quarterback.  We also talk about why the CFL trade deadline is so slow, the Riders big win over Winnipeg and how that wins shows just how wrong we were...

The Riders did what they had to do against Toronto. So, yeah. That's actually been one of their stories of the season, they haven't really lost to anyone they're supposed to. Because of that, they're in position to have a shot at finishing first in the West. We also discuss the return of Jordan Williams-Lambert and Brendon LaBatte Thanks to the show's title sponsor  Pile O'...

The Riders are back from their bye week and so is the 3Down Green Cast. This week, Joel and John talk about Jordan Williams-Lambert's pending return and that resting Naaman Roosevelt for a week to do it might not be the worst decision with a five game stretch to end the season against the west, including three straight games on the road. They also touch on the ridiculousness that is the Riders...

The Riders suffered their first loss in six games at the hands of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in this year's Banjo Bowl. A win so good for Winnipeg that John couldn't be with us this week. So, instead Joel joined by CBC Saskatchewan's and fellow college football nerd Dan Plaster. They talk about what went wrong for the Riders and where they go from here. They also touch on the return of...
