Coach Talk

BucksCo Bolts
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling TOP DOGG πŸ’° at the wide receiver position (65.9 points to 20.1).
TOP DOGG πŸ’°
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
