It’s here! It’s finally here! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast talke some week 1 of the 2025 CFL season, reckoning that, if the openers are any indication, quite a few high-flying offenses – like the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary Stampeders, BC Lions, plus possibly the Ottawa Redblacks and Montreal Alouettes – should wow football fans through Novemeber.

And speaking about these Alouettes, whoa, does RWB co-host Os Davis have raves like Montreal just won the 2023 Grey Cup…he can’t help gushing over Davis Alexander, Darrell Sankey, Tyson Philpot and the rest while his poor co-host Joe Pritchard awaits the ’25 debut of his Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

For all the RWB hot takes, lukewarm calls and fantasy football braggadocio, check out this episode.

The Rouge White & Blue Podcast: We’re just glad the CFL’s back…

Welcome to another madcap #cfl season! Os and Joe go through the rituals of predicting the future, be it full season predictions, pick'em for week 1, or a quick dive into fantasy. Come back next week to see us overreact to everything we got wrong!

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, namely:

• Which team will win the East?
• Which team will win the West?
• Will any CFL quarterback throw for 5,000 or more?
• Which player will win the season MOP award?
• Will any CFL player have more than 12 sacks?
• Brady Olivera: over/under 2,000 total yards?
• Which team will have the best regular season record?
• Which player will score the first touchdown of the season?
• Will any kicker make a field goal of more than 60 yards? and of course…
• Which team will win the 2025 Grey Cup?

The RWB’s got your predictions right here. (Remember: We’re not claiming they’re *good* predictions per se…)

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Betting on fun in 2025…

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 that this just might be the Riders’ year…

One fun discussion bumpered by the RWB’s amazement that another CFL season is nearly upon us – nice!

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: It’s already May; whoa…

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 for QB Kurtis Rourke, and do a bit more way-too-early speculation.

And that thing about a beer sponsorship for the league. Bud Light? Seriously, guys…?

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Is there a draft in here?

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 Cup that just about breaks Joe’s Bombers-blue heart.

Also: A warm welcome to new CFL Commissioner Stuart Johnston goes out from the RWB and an adios to the Randy Ambrosie Era.

Next up: The draft! It’s good to be awake…

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: It’s almost June already!

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 with RWB co-host Os Davis in a, let’s say, thorough fashion.

And just like the CFL itself, pretty much immediately after the Grey Cup talk does the RWB dive into the earliest of early moves in the 2025 season including the lightning-qucik acquisition of Vernon Admas Jr. by the Calgary Stampeders and the front-office and/or head coach hiring machinations of the Edmonton Elks, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions.

So who wants to keep talking CFL football? We do!
