Joseph and former Argos quarterback Michael Bishop had been given the play-calling responsibility prior to the Argos' third game. It's rare for professional quarterbacks to call their own plays, but Stubler figured at the time that the offence needed a shakeup.

Now I know there are a lot of you out there that think the Canadian Football League is just a league for the players that can't make an NFL squad. And while that may be true, the CFL is just as entertaining in my opinion. The rules provide a better flow for the game and many more big plays than   more...

Found this on Deadspin and couldn't really believe that this was news, I mean it is the CFL. Then I read the article and found this line: "Stegall, a 13-year veteran, broke the record he shared with legendary running backs George Reed and Mike Pringle, a mark that he had been chasing for three   more...

The year was 1988. A long ago time where Bush was president, Bon Jovi was touring Canada, Sylvester Stallone was working on a Rambo movie and Saskatchewan hosted a playoff game. Now a mere 19 years later, Bush is president, Bon Jovi is touring Canada, Stallone is working on a Rambo movie and   more...

Well here it is. I've circled this game on my calendar and have been counting down the days. The Montreal Alouettes are in town and that can mean only one thing: French tourists? Diner specials on poutine? No, it means Marcel Bellefeuille (shown in picutre) is in town! If you're a regular reader   more...

Rider Prophet here gearing up for week 9 of CFL action. Although I love watching CFL football, I'm finding it a little hard to get excited about this week's action. This week's games boast about as much hype as the Olivia Newton-John concert in October (Didn't know she was coming to Regina? My   more...

The hotels have cleared out, the rusty '73 Chev Impalas full of dejected bomber fans have returned to Manitoba (coincidentally the city of Regina seems to finally not stink anymore), and most Rider fans are finally recovering from the inevitable Labour Day hangover. The excitement and celebration   more...

Rider Prophet here getting ready for the third and final regular season meeting between the Riders and the Lions. The Riders are coming off two lackluster performances which is cause for some concern given that the Lions are the top team in the league right now. However, the silver lining is that   more...

Rider Prophet here, fresh of a game that was certainly worthy of being called the Labour Day Classic. The Riders extended their winning to five games with an exciting 31-26 win over the visiting Bombers. A 27 yard run by Kerry Joseph in the dying seconds of the game proved to be the difference.   more...

First of all yes, I am in favour of the CFL expanding. Quite frankly, it's tough defending the legitimacy of a league where your odds of making the playoffs are way better than your odds of missing them (unless you're the Ti-cats). "But Prophet," you say, "do you really think expansion will work   more...

Since this is the fourth time this season that the Riders are playing the Eskimos I'm running out of good material faster than Rita MacNeil's seamstress.

Well it was bound to happen and yesterday it did. The Bombers defeated the Riders 34-15 in the 4th annual Banjo Bowl. There's really not that much positive that can be said about Sunday's performance. Our defense was about as effective as a condom with speed holes. They didn't manage to force   more...
