Coach Talk

sean's Official Team
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Renee at the wide receiver position (63.43 points to 28.7).
Renee
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
