Coach Talk

Cock Fighters
Whoa, that Panthers defense didn't stand a chance! 18 connections on 22 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82 percent for Baker Mayfield. In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of Cock Fighters is appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
SKOL
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 Dwight Howard 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 that sort of effort... especially with SKOL needing every point possible in this tight matchup.
