Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Here's a list of scenarios where it's 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 have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Negligent Discharges
At the end of the day, only one manager's ultimately gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for choosing to take the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do hoist the trophy, and start re-strategizing for next season! Keep your head up, Negligent Discharges!
