How former Redblacks head coach Bob Dyce is returning to Ottawa the same way he left (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They don’t favour dedicated, hard-working, good men. They don’t give a break to guys just because they deserve one. When Bob Dyce signed on as the special teams co-ordinator and assistant head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in January, he not only joined a team that finished first in the Canadian Football League‘s East Division last year, but one many predicted was on the verge of winning its first Grey Cup this century. And then came a nasty curveball from the FGs. Get the latest sport headli
How winning a game would increase chances of the Ottawa Redblacks giving their rookie QB a real look (opens the original)

The television camera mercilessly zoomed in on Ryan Dinwiddie around 10 p.m. last Saturday. It caught the Ottawa Redblacks coach chuckling to himself. “It was kind of one of those, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ moments,” Dinwiddie remembered Friday morning. The Redblacks had just lost their second consecutive game on the final play, this time done in by an unlikely 62-yard field goal (one yard shy of the Canadian Football League record) off the toe of Calgary Stampeders veteran placekicker Rene
Where do the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks sit among the all-time losers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are a couple of ways Ottawa Redblacks fans, or what’s left of them, can look at the team’s current Canadian Football League-record losing streak. They can release their anger/frustration/embarrassment by booing, or they can cheer for the defeats to pile up.

Of course, Ottawa already has the market cornered on that dubious distinction, as the earliest professional football franchises in the nation’s c
Why is there reason to 'believe' the Ottawa Redblacks can turn things around? (opens the original)

Jim Popp had nothing to lose when accepting an offer to become the senior advisor of the Ottawa Redblacks last week. He is in no way responsible for the team’s 0-10 start and CFL record 16-game losing streak, and while a few more defeats may be on the horizon, there’s nowhere to go but up. But Popp, whose reputation as a successful builder and manager was built on five Grey Cup championships, also believes the current state of the Redblacks is not as ugly as it looks. And he believes GM/head coa
Can Jim Popp save the Ottawa Redblacks? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did Shawn Burke bump into an old acquaintance when he left the Ottawa Redblacks’ offices as vice president of football operations for the last time on Sunday? Did he come face-to-face with Jim Popp, who was announced as the team’s senior football advisor on Monday morning? Likely not, but Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group CEO Mark Goudie certainly wasted no time in hiring the man who appears to be replacing Burke as GM/head coach Ryan Dinwiddie’s right-hand man at the top of the Redblacks’ c
