| Game Summary (Larry Smith, NetFL Press)
The football gods smiled down upon the TB franchise this weekend. A wounded team was provided the perfect elixir, RNR, at an opportune time.
Because, if it had been anyone else but the offensively challenged RNR, every TB player would be changing their ring tones to Taps this morning. Luckily, TB ran into an opponent with much less margin for error than themselves, or they'd no doubt be nursing the losing column with yet another embarrassing loss.
One big reason that TB can exhale today is that RNR was talent-deficient enough to lose control of a game they had a chance to win. They looked so vile as they drew the family shotgun during the game and ate my sister's homework - metaphorically speaking.
The score of 57-16 in front of a despondent home crowd for TB was aided by a ferocious defense, but even larger was the help provided by a reeling opponent that constantly pushed the wrong personnel buttons. No wonder the vile RNR have been such a welcome sight in opposing stadiums for so long. TB sure caught them on the right day.
It's doubtful that the TB defenders could have corralled a grandmother strolling across the field with the same ease as they did the RNR quarterback. "Instead of him looking down the field, he was looking to see who was coming," said Donnie Jones with 18 points on defense, a huge smile on his face. "Let's just say he got rattled a little bit."
Still, TB might not have escaped without a goto player to energize the offense - RNR's very own Tony Curtis. He was relentlessly victimized, continuously torched play after play before the RNR coaching staff mercifully pulled him, as he played about as well as a frog pithed by an epileptic first-grader.
"Picking on Tony Curtis was a part of the game plan," Jason Witten with 32 points on offense said. "We should have been doing it more in the first half of the game."
How true. When a NetFL team needs a pick-me-up, they can usually count on RNR to deliver. TB trails the all-time series 4-11 against RNR. TB has a 4-0 regular season record. RNR has a 0-4 regular season record.
"Dem's fightin' woids!": Fuel was added to the fire during the two teams' post game news conferences. Tim Marshall stated, "Nah, I don't have anything against them. They're kinda like little bunnies or maybe pop warner rejects.... kinda cute and all, but pretty impotent when it comes to football." In response, the RNR coach considered this when he said, "They stink, not in that 'festering sewage inside a porta-potty next to a dead, bloated cow floating in a culvert' way, but more in the 'the Vienna Boy's Choir has more football talent' way." |
