The 2024 Canadian Football League season has begun! Well, sort of … as of this recording of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast, one preseason game has been held – but that’s more than enough for RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis to speculate about the upcoming season, specifically within the framework of the league’s “Futures” competition.

Joe and Os take their shots at guessing the outcomes of ten futures – really player propositions and team props – including:

• Which team will win the East?
• Which team will win the West?
• Who will lead the reg. season in interceptions?
• Will a quarterback throw for 5,000 or more passing yards during the regular season?
• Who will lead the league ein receiving TDs during the regular season?
• Which team will have the most QB sacks during the regular season?
• Over/under: Will Brady Oliveira rush for 1,299.5 yards during the regular season?
• Which team will finish with the best regular season record?
• How many kick/punt return TDs will be scored in total during the regular season?
• And, of course, which team will win the Grey Cup?

Yes, the RWB does realize the futility, but it’s all in good fun until the games begin for real…

Happy New Year -- or rather, Happy New CFL Season! With preseason games about to start in the Canadian Football League, the Rouge White & Blue returns for another year of podcasting our favorite gridiron game.

Co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis talk a whole lot of offseason football, from Chad Kelly's suspension to the reshuffling of the coaching deck in Saskatchewan to the un(?)-retirement of Shawn Lemon, and all points in0between.

The RWB's kicking off the 2024 season, so join us!

After the110th Grey Cup, after co-host Joe Pritchard’s return from Cup-hosting Hamilton, after US Thanksgiving Weekend, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast has finally reassembled the team of two to wrap the 2023 CFL season, take a tiny peek ahead to 2024, and, oh yes, discuss the actual Grey Cup game itself.

Said Grey Cup of course resulted in a stunning victory by RWB co-host Os Davis’s favored Montreal Alouettes over Joe’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers – but Os manages to keep the trashtalk to an absolute minimum as the RWB just generally marvelous over the solid football action that was the 110th Grey Cup championship.

And what CFL fan this time of year could resist idly speculating about next year? (After all, it’s what we’ll be doing for a good six months, anyway.) Joe cautions Os about fretting over the semi-offiical “potential CFL free agents list,” and explains with a single word the motivation behind the investigation into the Edmonton Elks’ club management structure.

Join the RWB as we take one final look back at the 2023 season – at least as far as Joe and the Bomber backers are concerned…
