Winnipeg Blue Bombers

The Canadian Football League has hit Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive lineman Miles Brown in the pocket book.  The 27-year-old was fined the maximum allowable, half a game cheque, for delivering a low hit on Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ quarterback Chris Streveler during the Labour Day rematch in Week 14. The play in question happened in the third quarter during a […]

Nick Wiebe made his professional debut in Week 14, suiting up for the Saskatchewan Roughriders against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The six-foot-three, 240-pound Canadian linebacker is in his rookie season with the Riders and did not play the first 12 games because he was rehabbing an ACL injury. That setback occurred when he was with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies […]

Well. We did it. We paid up on our Riders/Bombers bet with Winnipeg radio announcer Kris Jay. We all made a friendly wager on whether or not the Riders would sweep the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Labour Day Classic and the Banjo Bowl. Unfortunately we all know what happened, but look out next year! […]

The Bombers visit the Roughriders, who’re 0-4-1 in their last five games, on […]

On Wednesday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders resumed preparations for the 59th Labour Day Classic at Mosaic Stadium. It’s been a tough month in Riderville as the team is winless in five games since a July 19th triumph over Winnipeg. Despite the lack of results, the Riders are still atop the West Division by a point over […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are taking advantage of a long week for their on-field preparation prior to Sunday’s 59th Labour Day Classic against Winnipeg. The Riders lost 20-19 in Toronto last week which wrapped up six games in a 34-day span. That intense schedule didn’t afford an opportunity for extra practice time. Through 11 regular season […]

Fear not this will not be an NSync sing a long. It’s, “Just Gonna Be Me,” looking into the Canadian Football League’s 2024 byes.
