Coach Talk

A Team Has No Name
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Poooooooooooooooooop at the wide receiver position (71.4 points to 32.5).
Poooooooooooooooooop
Keep your head held high, Poooooooooooooooooop! Listen, we've been at it long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points can just miraculously appear out of the blue. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; perhaps asking for an additional 58 points is a little excessive.
