Once again this week, we were told that this year’s edition of the Saskatchewan Roughriders is different. Despite following a similar trajectory to last year, when they hit the wall at six wins and missed the playoffs, both general manager Jeremy O’Day and head coach Craig Dickenson have insisted this year’s team is better. The […]

October is here and that means the CFL playoffs are right around the corner. It’s also a busy time of year in sports and it’s only going to get busier with the Toronto Blue Jays playing playoff baseball and the start of the NHL regular season right around the corner. The fight for eyeballs is […]

On a night when Saskatchewan honoured the late George Reed and the 2013 Grey Cup championship team, you expected the sad-sack Riders to have all the motivation they would need to show some heart and give it all they got. Instead, they were exactly like they’ve been since their Labour Day Classic win over the […]

I vividly remember a conversation that took place in the press box at Percival Molson Stadium in October 2015. It was a chat between Saskatchewan Roughriders’ president and CEO Craig Reynolds, beat reporter Murray McCormick, and myself ahead of the club’s Thanksgiving game against the Alouettes. A few weeks earlier, Reynolds had made the decision […]

Remember, remember the first three weeks of November. The time of year CFL fans have been waiting for is finally here. The CFL postseason kicked off this past weekend with the East and West Semi-Finals in Montreal and Vancouver, respectively. This year is an interesting test case for the league as they’ve moved the games […]

Playoff football is always bittersweet. The games are generally the best of the year and what we wait for all season. On the other hand, it also means the season is winding down. There’s only one CFL game left in 2023 and that sucks. Nothing lasts forever, and sometimes absence makes the heart grow stronger, […]

Once again, the Grey Cup delivered. It’s been a turnaround couple of years for the CFL after a tough season on the field following the year lost to the pandemic. It’s safe to say that now, the league is back and this Grey Cup was another example of just how wild, chaotic, and fun Canadian […]

Just like that, it’s all over for another year. The 110th Grey Cup delivered on the field as the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers played an instant classic with many twists and turns that will leave us talking about it for years to come. It was also another solid broadcast from TSN. When the […]

Saskatchewan Roughriders’ general manager Jeremy O’Day, well known for his safe and steady-as-she-goes style, has taken a big swing in hiring his new head coach. On Wednesday night, 3DownNation’s Justin Dunk reported the club agreed to terms on a contract with Toronto Argonauts’ defensive coordinator Corey Mace. While the move wasn’t shocking, Mace wasn’t at […]

It’s that time of year. The calendar turns to January and, magically, many of us decide it’s time to try and do something differently — even though we’re all quite capable of making change any time of year. There’s just something about the new year that feels like a new beginning. Well, at least for […]
