Fri., Oct. 31: Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look at the week’s news and decides who’s hot… and who’s not. This week, in a special Halloween edition, he highlights the Blue Jays and the Roughriders.

Thurs., Oct. 30: Murray Wood says Halloween is fun for kids and for the adults who raid their candy. But trying to con his 10-year-old daughter out of a certain treat turned out to be quite a bit harder than expected.

Wed., Oct. 29: Murray Wood says it would have been impossible for Farooq Sheikh to continue as police chief in Regina. Now, the board gets a chance to hire the right candidate, who’s been there all along.

Tues., Oct. 28: It used to be that the CFL didn’t believe Saskatchewan could pull off the big game, but Murray Wood says now it can’t get enough of us, which may also say something about the state of the CFL in Eastern Canada.

Mon., Oct. 27: Murray Wood says the Riders got robbed, while the Jays surprised the Dodgers and the experts. Meanwhile, he’s not sure not even Donald Trump’s tantrums could wreck a beautiful last weekend of October.
