Coach Talk

Rigby's
Props to you, Rigby's. Good work deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 51 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Tim's team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Joey Slye might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
