Sports analogy of the month!
“Sometimes it’s a little bit like trying to pick between Tyra Banks and Pam Anderson. There’s not a bad choice,” said Tillman, who did not tip his hand during Tuesday’s yak session with the inquisitive media.
“They’re all quality people who bring different assets to the table. I’m very comfortable with this group. It has not been a tough process because of the respect I have for each of the four.”
Rider open thread.

Yep, Austin will fit in pretty well in Regina. Now the GM has to provide the players to do the job.
As for the “forgive and forget” bit, Austin left Sask. in ’93, in sports, it’s best to have a short memory, yesterday’s pariah might be just what you need today. It’s only a business/game.
PAM ANDERSON has big connections with PETA and dose stupid ads for them she is just another one of those hollywood idiots who do things simply for the papperazzi
So if they had Tyra and Pam to chose from, how did Austin get the job? /sarcasm off
Given that Austin isn’t a huggy feel good kind of guy, it should be interesting to see what happens.
Austin’s prior positions speak for themselves.
BTW, Tyra’s are real, Pam’s are fake.
returning to Calgary didn’t work for Steve Buratto,
so go for Tyra
They could have had Tyra!!!!!
We could be 0-18 and still fill the stands.
My only hope is Kent being a former QB is willing to pull the QB when they are not performing.
“PAM ANDERSON has big connections with PETA ”
Maybe she will set Gainer free.
Tyra to head cheerleading corps…
Silly Kate, everyone knows Rider fans can’t read.
Kent it is!
Tyra’s crazy and the years are starting to treat her badly but she’s mostly surgery free.
Pam has Hep C, is totally nuts (divorcing Kid Rock in 4 months… as your 4th marriage?), has watermelon sensibilities and likely supports terrorists (Peta/ELF/ALF), has had oodles and oodles of work done, and has been getting ever more haggard for more than 5 years (how long ago was she on ToolTime/Home Improvement?).
Sounds like no contest: Tyra! Furthermore, these analogies are dumb. Go for a real contest: Cindy Crawford vs Heidi Klum. Now that’s an evenly matched contest.
Like trying to pick between a psychotic beatch and disease ridden bimbo?
Not such a good analogy I think!
Danny Barrett was popular with the people but he was a mediocre coach. I liked his pleasant attitude he was a good citzen but not a winning coach.
too funny…i read the previous post about danny barrett and couldn’t help but do some name substituting…
“(Lorne Calvert) was popular with the people but he was a mediocre (premier). I liked his pleasant attitude he was a good citizen but not a (successful) (premier).”
Thanks for the chuckle ok4ua…
Made my night!
PS: Gimme Tyra if you absolutely must…Pammy can clean the stalls in the East side cans for all I care…
The riders have the team to make a run for the grey cup. With the exception of the QB Kerry Joseph. How did we think he was going to save our team? What has he ever done? If we don’t get another QB I hope that Kent Austin at least is willing not to run with a set starter. I feel Crandell and Butler are better QBs then Joseph. I do like the move that Kent made with resigning Congi to “ONLY FEILD GOALS” because he is a terrible punter. If anything Kent Austin hopefully won’t hold their hand when they are playing bad and say it will get better next game like Danny Barrett did.
Tyra should be in a mental house and Pamela is damaged goods.
