Today’s TRR Is Brought To You By The Letter D and the # 29

Great win for the Green and White last night in Montreal! The defence was phenomenal and the O played pretty well too. The timing still has to get there a little bit with the O but that will come. I thought Kerry had a pretty good game using both his legs and his arm to his advantage. As I stated on Roundtable last night, I think the game was won during the great play while it was raining and blowing the hardest. The Riders moved the ball well during this time frame and Luca did great in the inclement weather. The recurring theme last night on Roundtable seemed to be congratulating coach Austin; it came up in most of the calls and that’s pretty cool to hear. I really don’t need to break it down much more for you here as you all saw the game and I hope listened to the show. It really was a great win last night to start off 07. If Mosaic is not packed next Sunday then something is seriously wrong.

How about that Old Man Eddie Davis? In case you missed it here is a post from a while ago I did on #29 He is too old, and slow…

If last nights game was played on the Muppet Show:

Kermit = Kerry Joseph. Kermit was always in charge and last night so was Kerry Joseph. The big difference was that for Kerry it was easy being green last night.

Animal = Eddie Davis. Plain and simple he was an Animal out there.

Fozzy Bear = The Refs. As the two calls in the one Al drive were such a joke.

Beaker = Anthony Calvio. As AC looked like he was running around all over the place last night and really had no idea what he was doing.

Dr. Teeth = Fred Perry. Do I need to explain why?

The Swedish Chef = Luca Congi. Because Luca was cooking last night

Big Bird = Ben Cahoon. He was the only Allouette worth mentioning last night; he was big with over 100 receiving yards.

Uncle Deadly = Chunky Adams. Here is one description of Uncle Deadly I came across: Phantom of the Muppet Show. I know AC sure could not see him coming a few times last night.

Flying Zucchini Brothers = Reggie Hunt. Reggie was flying around all over the place last night, and a few times it looked like he was shot out of a cannon. (Editor Note: How can one guy be brothers?)

Snuffleupagus = Ron Robinson. Did not see him much last night, but that’s a good thing because he had his guy covered great all night. You know you’re doing your job as a DB when they are not talking about you.

The Great Gonzo = The Montreal O. Nobody really new what it was.

Miss Piggy = TSN. Miss Piggy always annoyed me on the show; last night so did TSN. How many plays did we miss?

J.P. Gross = Jim Popp. I am not making this Muppet up. He was Scooter’s uncle who owned the theatre. Jim Popp does not own the Al’s, but he does darn near everything else and I hope it bites him on the butt this year.

Sweetums = Scott Shultz. Again, I will give you a description of Sweetums I came across: Big ol' monster. Keep doing what you’re doing Scott; you are a monster in the middle.

Crazy Harry = The D. They blew it up out there last night with great performances by everyone.

Jim Henson = Coach Austin. Jim was the mastermind behind the Muppets and, well, Kent is the mastermind of the Riders.

If you have any comparisons let me know in a comment or an email and I will post them later.

For example, I am missing a Grover, a Cookie Monster (where’s Nate when you need him?), and an Elmo!

Results from the most recent TRR poll

The Riders Will Rush For Over/Under 100 Yards On Friday?
Over 57% (8 votes)

Total voters for this poll: 14

The new poll is up ( I am having problems with the Polldaddy site, I will have a new poll up later)

This is pretty funny. Have a look.




Today’s Lyrics

“So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why”

Time to go do the yard work, have a great Saturday.

Lyrics, Steve Earle-Devil's Right hand. And I love the Muppets comparisons. Great, fantastic, dominating defence last night. We kept checking the CFL stats as the game went on and they took their sweet ass time putting up Reaper's sack.

Thought you may be the one to get that song. I hope no players if they read this take offence to the Muppet refrences :-)
