RWB CFL podcast #244: Raves and rants
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
Tuesday Sep 19, 2023
To no one’s great surprise, the Rouge White & Blue Podcast loves CFL football – but after a particularly intriguing week which saw the unquestionable return of “No Lead Is Safe” gameplay (hopefully permanently), even co-host Joe Pritchard after a stunning loss by his Winnipeg Blue Bombers has to dig on the Canadian league.
Along with the raves come the rants – well, one rant at least. Specifically, co-host Os Davis venting about his Montreal Alouettes’ pitiable play on the offensive line which cost the Als another win and handed the East division’s top seed to the mighty Toronto Argonauts.
The RWB also runs down all the week 15 games and attempts to forecast week 16 in this seemingly increasingly unpredictable league (we thought this was supposed to get *easier* as the season grinds down), but mercifully no betting angles from the ever-colder Os – but hey, it’s not about the money; it’s about the fun, right? Right?!?!!?
The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: We love *this* game.

RWB CFL podcast #243: The seven-tenths point
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Monday Sep 11, 2023
As that professional football league south of the border kicks off this week, the Canadian Football League heads into the homestretch, with 70% of the 2023 season in the books – just in time for the return of co-host Os Davis back into the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast booth.
Meanwhile, co-host Joe Pritchard comes to us live from Winnipeg, where his beloved Blue Bombers scorched the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the fourth consecutive year in the Banjo Bowl game. Joe’s ventures to Winnipeg are already a set tradition for the game; could a Bombers blowout become the new tradition?
Joe and Os take stock of the 2023 season to the seven-tenths point, wonder how hot the Edmonton Els (no, really) can get with Tre Ford at the helm, consider the sparse playoff scenarios, and probably futilely attempt to pick and predict next week’s games.

Rouge White and Blue #242: We Hear Banjos
Thursday Sep 07, 2023
Thursday Sep 07, 2023
Once again, you're stuck with Joe Pritchard running the show (don't worry, with Sunday games being off the schedule going forward, it'll be easier to get Os Davis back in the game), and Josh Smith joined him to discuss the Labour Day weekend games, this week's rematch games, and Joe's travel plans for this weekend and beyond.

Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Andrew Bucholtz from Awful Announcing and The Comeback is Os Davis's fill in this week, and beyond the usual reviews and previews, the conversation drifted towards quarterback development at all levels of football, of course, with an emphasis on how it affects the Canadian game.

Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Joe Pritchard is still without Os Davis, but the Turf District offered up Superfan Mike and 3 Down Nation's Andrew Hoskins, and the timing couldn't have been better after Edmonton's first win. We cover that plus our normal reviews and previews, with a lot of laughs in between.

RWB CFL podcast #239: Bonus episode – the temporary return of Os Davis
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Traditional Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis has been traveling the ‘States and jumping the pond, but he’s not completely out of touch. To prove it, he pops in for an extra episode of the RWB joining co-host Joe Pritchard to catch up on August in the Canadian Football League.
So the RWB talks stuff like how virtually every team aside from the Toronto Argonauts has had a chance of QB in the past month; what in Buono’s name is up with the massive separation between the dominance of the big three and the questionable competence of the bottom five plus the mysterious Montreal Alouettes; and just how much of the Saskatchewn Roughriders are a juggernaut waiting to jugger – or naut.
And even in Europe can a CFL fan suffer the torments of CFL football and enjoy the benefits of properly betting games – so Os weighs in on his week 11 picks in response to Joe ‘n’ Dalts’s of episode 238. And yes, for the record: this episode was indeed recorded before the Edmonton-Hamilton game.

Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Os Davis continues to be on the injured list, so Joe Pritchard brought in Robert Dalton from the Rouge Radio show on the Canadian Football Podcast Network to do the usual weekly roundup. We get to Ottawa's questionable decision making a little later than expected, but we do get there. Meanwhile, two of the league's titans have an off week, and is Saskatchewan's receiving corps underrated?

RWB CFL Podcast #235
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
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.
