Coach Talk

Da Boys
Whoa, Da Boys, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. In addition to a 47.57-point victory, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings... right into the thick of playoff contention

Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
