Coach Talk

Bruising Knights
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Chris Boswell just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
PwnStars
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The seven offensive position starters (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) on PwnStars combined to register 369 yards and just one touchdown in Week 14. The skill players on Bruising Knights showed us how it's supposed to be done by logging 534 yards and four scores.
