It was a big weekend for Green Cast co-host John Fraser, no not because his Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to the Grey Cup, but because the Bombers actually won a game with him in attendance.
They had lost like 26 straight before that.
So, naturally John is relieved that he'll be able to go to the games in the future knowing they might win.
Joel and John also talk about the Bombers big win and what a let down the Riders offence was and how that cost them the game. They talk big picture on what was overall a very positive season for the Green and White then take a quick look at this week's Grey Cup.

A tough loss for the Riders in Calgary but not all is lost.
Joel Gasson and John Fraser agree with 3DownNation's Ryan Ballentine that the score flattered the Riders a bit, we also feel they showed enough to lead us to believe they could win there if the West Final is in Calgary.
We also talk about that game's officiating and get into a broader discussion about attendance across professional sports.

The CFL Trade Deadline has come and gone without much of anything happening, except for one trade.
That one trade was enough to throw our entire opening segment out the window as John was ready and willing to go off on the Bombers for not adding a quarterback.
We also talk about why the CFL trade deadline is so slow, the Riders big win over Winnipeg and how that wins shows just how wrong we were about this team at the start of the year.

The Riders did what they had to do against Toronto. So, yeah.
That's actually been one of their stories of the season, they haven't really lost to anyone they're supposed to. Because of that, they're in position to have a shot at finishing first in the West.
We also discuss the return of Jordan Williams-Lambert and Brendon LaBatte

The Riders are back from their bye week and so is the 3Down Green Cast.

There's no debating it now, there's someone pulling the strings trying to help the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
How else can you explain them getting a win thanks to the weather and Andrew Harris getting suspended right before the two biggest games of the year to date? Surely there's no other logical explanation.
In (somewhat) more serious conversations, Joel and John do talk about the Riders, who "haven't beat anyone" yet but have beaten them convincingly, and that means something. We look ahead to this week's Labour Day Classic and we talk about form GM Brendan Taman's interesting column in the Leader-Post this week where he reveals he nearly traded for Matt Nichols in 2015.

Yes, your social media is currently filled with ambitious people working out and doing great things in the 100 days leading up to the Grey Cup. While we do support their efforts, it's not really our thing. If you're like us, feel free to join us by eating all the burgers, chips and of course, drinking all the beers.
We also talk about how the Riders bye weeks have been pretty uneventful and the Matt Nichols injury and what it means to the Riders. We also talk about power rankings and where we believe the Riders sit at this point in the season.
Note: Yes, there's some technical difficulties for the first few minutes. I eventually figure out what's wrong at about the five minute mark, so stick with it.

As Joel continues his Irish honeymoon Fraser and Pat are back again to break down the Riders 0-2 start and figure out...have the Riders found their quarterback!?

At long last, we might finally have answers about the Roughriders offence following their loss to the Ottawa Redblacks and it's not a good answer if you're a Rider fan.
Joel Gasson and John Fraser are back to discuss the Riders offence and it's pretty obvious at this point that they cannot win them a game. Even though Chris Jones made the defence a point of emphasis after the game, Joel and John aren't worried about the unit long term.

This week on the 3Down Green Cast, Joel Gasson and John Fraser give you the run down on fresh, local beer that will be available at Mosaic Stadium for the Riders upcoming game against the Redblacks and answer an important question, is John related to Al Capone?
On the field, Joel and John discuss the status of quarterback Zach Collaros and how the offence is contributing to the team's success even without scoring a whole lot of points. They also discuss just how weird the Banjo Bowl was, how good Willie Jefferson was and how Matt Nichols was the exact opposite.
In their look around the league, Joel and John share their thoughts on a couple of topics surrounding the league's broadcaster TSN, first Joel is tired of people complaining about the 1-5 set up, no matter what they do, while John thinks it's time to dump in-game interviews at important points in the game.

It was a huge weekend at Mosaic Stadium, especially for Joel Gasson and John Fraser, as local Saskatchewan craft beer finally made it's way to Rider games.
Oh, the Riders also won their third straight game and now sit second in the west division. The Riders have just one game left in theird six game western stretch, with that in mind, Joel and John discuss where the team is at and what we've learned about them over this stretch.
While thing are starting to look up for the green and white, the Bombers may have exposed a couple of weaknesses despite the win. Most notably, the lack of a true middle linebacker and short yardage offence.
Across the league, they examine a potential curse. This season, just four teams ranked second in the 3DownNation power rankings have won, not including bye weeks. It's only happened once since the fifth week of the season. So, Joel completely rips of Sportsnet's Tim and Sid and asks the question, is this a super stat or a meaningless number?

It's a big week in the CFL as the season hits the mid-way point with rivalry games set to take place across the league over the Labout Day long weekend.
For the Riders, it's a familiar match up with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. This year, there's plenty on the line with both teams basically tied in the standings right now, but currently heading in opposite directions. The Riders are coming off two big wins that have them chasing down a home playoff date once again, while the Bombers are looking for answers after some losses. How the next two weeks go, could go along way in determining how the standings play out in the West.
With that in mind, it's a different 3Down Green Cast this week as Joel Gasson goes between two Johns with his usual co-host John Fraser and 3DownNation's and Blue Bomber Talk podcast co-host John Hodge to break down the game.
Can the Rider offence finally move the ball against a Bomber defence that has yet to find it's form? How will the Bomber offence fair against the Riders defence? Is John Hodge drinking a beer? Can Joel tell the Johns apart? The answer to these questions and more!

Well, that was a few days.
Joel Gasson and John Fraser discuss what turned out to be a very eventful weekend and start to the new week in Riderville. Starting with the release of Duron Carter, which still has people talking across Saskatchewan and even the country. Was it the right move? Could it have been handled better?
If that wasn't enough, Rob Bagg is back! Except, what should have been a field good story seems to be getting weirder by the minute and is leaving more questions than answers.
In the end, all of this revolves around a theme that has followed this team all season, does Chris Jones wear too many hats? Can he adequately do all of his jobs?

John Fraser returns from a week in the middle of no where as he and Joel Gasson discuss the Riders win over the Hamilton Ticats. There's no mystery as to how they won that game. The defence. Why? They were able to adapt with more blitzes and moving Duron Carter to a matchup that works for him.
