The Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast

Os and Joe get in some preseason reps without technical difficulties, and touch on the Argos QB situation, glimmers of hope in Calgary, CFL+ and US TV distribution, and AIRHORNS. #cfl #cflpodcast

Despite some technical difficulties, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast pushed through to produce yet another preseason episode packed with speculation. And this time, the madness is streamlined along the lines of the awesome CFL.ca Gamezone 2025 Preseason Futures contest. Hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis offer picks and preditions on 10 scintillating questions heading into the ’25 season, nam...

This week, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis have a guest – none other than Alex Dormuth of the Piffles Podcast. As Piffles is a Saskatchewan Roughriders-centric podcast, the RWB talks a lot of Riders offseason, including the free-agent moves, cutdowns, draft picks and that punter controversy faced by the team. Nevertheless, at least two of us begrudgingly agree t...

With the 2025 CFL Draft (and the awesome concomitant Global Draft) behind us, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard have thoughts, reactions, and overreactions. This week, the RWB talks some no. 1 picks, wonder if the Toronto Argonauts had the best draft, consider the interesting Winnipeg Blue Bombers-Hamilton Tiger-Cats Draft Day trade, discuss the possible outcomes...

Aaaand the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is back after a five-month hibernation period – what else is there to say? Lots, actually! RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard & Os Davis have the entire free-agency season – during which a few interesting players moved around, as we understand it – to recap and lots of speculation to indulge in. Then there’s one not-quite-prediction regarding the 2025 Grey...

No, no, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast Joe Pritchard wasn’t hiding out due to his Winnipeg Blue Bombers fandom in the aftermath of said Bombers’ loss to the Toronto Argonauts in the 11th Grey Cup championship game – we swear. In fact, Joe is even up for recapping a disappointing (for him) Grey Cup and discussing an enlivening (for just about everyone, reportedly) Grey Cup week in Vancouver wit...

The time is upon us: The divisional finals games are in the books and this week plays the 110th Grey Cup between those dynastic Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts, champs of two years back. Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast previews the championship game, of course, but only after co-host Joe Prtichard consoles Os Davis about his Montreal Alouettes’ elimination, while Joe gets to lor...

All right, CFL fans – You know what time of year it is, you know the drill. Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis talk the two semifinalslayoff games and next weekend’s two divisional finals games. (Spoilers: When reviewing and previewing, the same feeling pervades, i.e. damn, both the Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders are straight-up scary.) Also, som...

That’s right: The 2024 CFL playoffs are upon us, and the Rouge White & Blue is forecasting the round 1 games, and wrapping the CFL regular season. Who do RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard like to meet their favored Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (respectively)? Tune in to this episode to find out… The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Postseason blues and ecstasy all in o...

…we are the champions / We are the champions / No time for losers / Cuz we are the champions… OK, so the Grey Cup trophy is still a few weeks away from being awarded – but Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis was in fact crowned the champion of the 2024 Canadian Football Podcast Network Fantasy League and so the song. And in all seriousness do Os and RWB co-host Joe Pritchard look b...

As the man south of the border once said, “Playoffs?!?!?!” For CFL postseason, the postseason hasn’t yet arrived, but with few highly relevant games remaining and the matchups just about set for those playoffs, what else can be discussed on the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast? Co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard briefly touch on the week 19 games which included a lackluster performance from th...

Well, it certainly *felt* like the Saskatchewan Roughriders eliminated three teams from the 2024 CFL playoffs with a 28-24 win that should haven’t been that close, though the Hamilton Tiger-Cats still kinda sorta technically mathematically could still sneak in to the postseason. And so, given the results of week 18, the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast has one eye on the playoffs and another on...

Risin' up, back on the stream / Did our time, did our podcast… After week 17 sent Hamilton’s CFL fans on one serious rollercoaster ride, the Rouge, White & Blue podcast takes a look at the happinngs of last week with the viewpoint of the Tiger-Cats’ fans – the eye of the Ticat, if you will… Through Winnipeg’s blue-bombing of the juuuuuuuuuuuust about eliminated Edmonton Elks, though the Ticats...

After week 16 of CFL play, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard have questions – questions mostly of the “What’s up with all the” variety. As in… What’s up with all the high-octane RB play and short-yardage passing in the Canadian league right now? What’s up with Chad Kelly – not to mention Chad Kelly’s teammates on the Toronto Argonauts? What’s up with all the hy...

A short slate of games in week 15 of the 2024 CFL season proved unkind for the great majority of Pick ‘Em players and football bettors – not to mention the BC Lions and Calgary Stampeders. On this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, we’re again taking stock of standings and playoff picture, mostly through the angst of the fans. Without angst is RWB co-host Joe Pritchard, whose Winni...

The 2024 CFL season experienced week to week has felt somewhat odd: Stuff like the crashes-and-burns of the BC Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders, the defending West champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers digging themselves out of a hole to rise to first place, essentially every team except the Calgary Stampeders forced to give #2 and/or #3 QBs quality minutes… This week, the , Rouge White & Blue CFL...

(alternative title: Argos win on missed FG; Football fandom freaks out) After week 12, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts could talk about how all four games came down to a touchdown or less, about another fantastic showing by the East, about how the top three teams by win-loss record are now in the East, about how the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are suddenly in second place thanks to the freef...

Once again, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts talk an anomalous sweep in the Canadian Football League – Just three weeks after an exceptionally rare 4-0 showing by the four East division teams, week 11 saw the visitors sweep the homedogs. RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis can’t decide which is more amazing: The visitors sweeping or Os going 4-0 in CFL Pick ‘Em. Or maybe it’s the wa...

  OK, so the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast ins’t *quite* covering 1,001 news items, hot (or lukewarm) takes and predictions but hoo boy, is this league generating some serious fodder for chatter at the halfway point of the season. First and foremost is the round of quarterback roulette in which most CFL teams are currently embroiled; more intrigue was added with the news that Nathan Rourke wa...

You read that right: the Rouge, White & Blue Podcast affirms that the CFL right now is absolutely nuts, bananas and any more idiomatic expressions with food you want to use. Seriously, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis can only gawk in confusion at some of these teams, barely sputtering a “WTF” when asking stuff like: How did this BC Lions offense get shut out? How highly should we estee...

As the dust settles on a historic East division sweep in week 8, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast remarks on this year’s crop of backup quarterbacks; marvels at the Montreal Alouettes’ defense and the Ottawa Redblacks in general; and remains baffled by the unbettable Calgary Stampeders. RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis answer questions like: Are the Toronto Argonauts really a third-pl...

At the top of this week’s Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, the discussion naturally begins with a wrap of week 7 games – while meandering through some grousing about what was seemingly a poor fantasy week for everyone. (Jake Maier the top QB? A touchdown from rookie FB Clint Ratkovich? Dude.) Light on fantasy football points the slate of games may have been, but some fascinating points of discu...

RWB CFL podcast #263: Chris Jones out, end of an era The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast began when head coach Chris Jones was on the way to winning his first (and, as it turns out, likely his only) Grey Cup. Thiw week, the key CFL-centric story is the firing from the Edmonton Elks of Coach Jones. Yet, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis somehow manage to discuss other topics involving week...

We’re about one-quarter of the way through the 2024 CFL season and even though two teams remain undefeated and one is still winless, some annual signs of the season progressing are staring to show. This week, the Rouge White and Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard take stock of week 5 to weight in on topics such as: What to make of the backstepping Toronto Argonauts losing to the...

For Rouge White and Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis it was just one of those weeks – namely, a total washout in CFL fantasy football and a clean 0-4 showing in the league’s Pick ‘Em contest. Yeesh. Nevertheless, Os, together with RWB co-host Joe Pritchard, attempt to make sense of last week’s results – though truth be told, Joe doesn’t really need to after his own 4-0 Pick ‘Em run. What can be s...
