Now they want to make Duke the highest paid receiver…. If they make him the highest  and Cody is making over $500k how do they solve the oline issues? 
 

Before every down, Duke runs up and down the DL poking them all in the eye...

I loved when Marcus Sayles absolutely obliterated Spitty McEyeGouge at Commonwealth one year.  I didn’t actively wish injury on the guy but the horrific scream he let out was him getting his due.  The whole place went deathly quiet as he lay there with one arm pointed an totally unnatural angle…

He got laid out pretty good in the Western Final.

Do you mean the play where the nose of the football touching the ground knocked him out cold?

THEY don't...and even without those big albatross salaries....fixing the Oline in free agency ain't happening...they may be able to get one guy...but thats it, also all teams who have good o-lineman tend to do whatever to retain them, all u can get are grossly over payed Americans...good luck with Canadians...their O-line rebuild is still several years in the making yet....I don't see any real blue chippers in their current starting Canucks...or on the PR....If they were any better they would have been in the lineup...

It took about 2.5 years to fix the Bombers O-line... it can be a long process.

I think having Andrew Harris at tailback allowed us to start an American (Bond) at guard, for quite a while. Other teams don't have that advantage.

Fun fact. The Riders have the same amount of grey cup wins as there have been grey cups decided in overtime…..

Funner fact: The Riders' have never won championships back-to-back.

Even funner fact: The Rider's trade to give up Pat Neufeld gave them one championship, and in exchange helped us break the drought, and get a back-to-back in return. That there is some good Rider maths.

Pretty debatable that it helped them win a championship too, as Alex Hall was pretty much a bust when he went there.,

We need to fivepeat so we can joke that our core guys have more rings than the Riders in their entire history.

We almost have more rings in the last 2 GCs than most Rider fans have teeth.

We already have three times as many as they do.

In 2 years,we've literally made up half the Riders total Championships in their 111 year history.....Oh,and P.S. they had a 20 year head start on us too!!!!

Other fun things to note... One of my favourite players (Kenny Ploen) has as many Grey Cup victories (4) with the bombers as their entire franchise. He alao did it in 5 years.

Also... I did the math on this forum in an earlier post.... more people in history have gone to the moon than players that won multiple Grey Cups with the Riders.

[Booch]

Yeah...but they had #1990 which they clung to..rallied around..cherished...so there's that

This is the same franchise founded 2 years after the Model T was created (the first mass produced automobile), that didnt win their first Grey Cup until 3 years before the first man landed on the moon (1966 first Grey Cup) right?

Ha...rather successful organization lol

[Eternal optimist]

In other dumping-on-the-Riders news, consider THEIR longest Grey Cup drought was almost double the length of ours (1910 - 1966, 56 years)
