Coach Talk

Mr. Rodger's Hood
You know what, Mr. Rodger's Hood, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to start a player with zero points (Jake Kumerow), while still getting a win! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Kirk's cousin
Hey, Kirk's cousin... Despite starting Phillip Lindsay this week, your opposition, Mr. Rodger's Hood, ultimately presented you with a hill that was too tough to climb.
