Coach Talk

TheGoat50
Hey, now that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 97 percent this past week for Mr. Efficient... Uh, sorry, I mean Philip Rivers. The Cardinals secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of TheGoat50 is grateful for this type of efficiency and attention to detail.
