Coach Talk

THE COMMISH
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a stellar showing from Drew Brees, we doubled up TakeitLikaman at the quarterback position this past week (41 points to 20). Brees was tremendous in a blowout victory over the Colts, going 29-of-30 for 307 yards and four passing TDs.
TakeitLikaman
Listen, TakeitLikaman, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 15) they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an additional 12 points might be a bit on the excessive side.
