Why can't we have a statue of a WR getting pulled into the depth of hell... like in Regina...

A pretty apt metaphor for life in Saskatchewan, yes?

Another great addition to IGF.  Bob Irving already has the the pressbox named after him but I wonder if a statue would be appropriate.  Only play-by-play announcer that I know of with a statue is Harry Carey.

"Dante's Receiver"?

I hope 20 years from now we are building a statue for MOS to celebrate his accomplishment of leading us to 4 Grey Cup wins.
