Coach Talk

Obi juan ll
Yo, Obi juan ll, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by more than 45 points, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
Roman's Legit Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2: 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 have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
