Coach Talk

I Shot Plaxico
We wonder if the GM of I Shot Plaxico was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.1 points, Cody Parkey (3-of-4 on the day) thought that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've made things just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
