Coach Talk

Drill'erThen-Spiller
Kudos to you, Drill'erThen-Spiller. Fielding a starting crew that registered more than 147 points in Week 14... let's tip our cap to the GM of Shark Week, take this victory in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Shark Week
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about 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 this effort.
