The Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast

Os Davis is on assignment, but Josh Smith from 3 Down Nation stepped in to assist Joe Pritchard in breaking down Week 7, preview Week 8, and along the way, enjoyed the usual podcast diversions, deep dives, and failed once again to provide the answers to all of life's burning questions, except where the CFL is concerned, of course. 

Lots of scoring, lots of QBs, one big upset: That sums up week 6 of the Canadian Football League’s 2023 season in a nutshell. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis expound upon all the intrigue and developments of the week gone by, digging deep by way of a few rabbitholes into questions like: Aside from the Toronto Argonauts, were BC Lions the big winner of wee...

Well, all right then – that was bizarre. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast takes on the wild, weird and wacky week 5 of the 2023 season, and we’re going long to do so. RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard are amazed and illuminated by the happenings, commenting on the Rouge Bowl contested between the Edmonton Elks and Saskatchewan Roughriders (and just accountable should Chris Jones and T....

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Joe Pritchard returns from Montreal feeling energized by his time in that great city – not to mention having enjoyed an emphatic victory by his Winnipeg Blue bombers over the Alouettes. But hey, this is the CFL in 2023 and certainly no fan can fail to be amazed at the dominating Toronto Argonauts, whom RWB co-host Os Davis is penciling in as Grey Cup favo...

By the time you listen to this episode of the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast, show co-host Joe Pritchard may already be in Montreal in advance of his Winnipeg Blue Bombers taking on the Alouettes in that great Canadian city. (About the best Joe’s RWB co-host Os Davis can do is keep on winning at CFL betting – luckily he doesn’t believe in jinxes…) But before the literal bon voyage, Os and Joe hav...

“Ladies, ladies, I don’t mean to brag, but … I am the greatest.” –Sydney Deane, White Men Can’t Jump That’s right: For once both hosts of the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast have reason to brag about their prognosticating skills. Joe Pritchard and Os Davis rank #1 and #3, respectively, in the Canadian Football Podcast Network fantasy football league (very tough league) after week 2 point-a-palooza...

Week 1 of the 2023 CFL season is in the proverbial books and so Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard partake in that classic exercise of football fandoms everywhere, namely overreacting to the opening week results. And damned if they don’t actually have reason to gushily overreact: Not only did Os and Joe’s favoured Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers each n...

The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast is proverbially ready for some football – CFL football, that is! Show co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis are back to regular business like making (quite possibly futile) predictions to play in the CFL Pick ‘Em contest . And as a respectable CFL fantasy football player, Joe gives a few hints for playing this year’s edition of the game and its new tweaks. rea The...

New CFL season, new TV/streaming arrangement – and in the short term, this deal may not exactly be ideal for the US and international audiences. On this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis welcome back Andrew Bucholtz of Awful Announcing and The Comeback for insight into accessing the CFL in 2023. In short, Americans and Canadian expats are looking at...

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis welcome back frequently returning guest Josh Smith of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats centered Pod Skee Wee Wee to tak about, well, what else but Hamilton Tiger-Cats football… It may not be June yet, but the RWB and Josh alike are getting ready for some Canadian football.

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 football on the league’s official website CFL.ca. An...

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 Os Davis doesn’t wonder if CFL fans are a bit spoi...

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, international football podcaster Greg James. Gre...

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 after a Montreal Alouettes playoff win. Os and co-ho...

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 Hamilton Tiger-Cats against he Montreal Alouettes on th...

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 Alouettes) in good form heading into the postseason, Jo...

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 week benched Cody Fajardo, who subsequently more or...

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 game, the dominance of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers o...

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 coaching position again in the CFL – and briefly on...

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 where BC can go from here. Then, as Joe recounts...

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 stranglehold – on a playoff spot via crossover. Like jus...

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 bad while co-host Joe Pritchard enjoyed his belov...

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. Luckily, RWB co-host Joe Pritchard keeps to his wit...

“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, with an accent on former Montreal Alouettes star...

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 LaPolice as Ottawa Redblacks head coach? Are the...
