Coach Talk

BadNews Brown
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Jeff's Team at the wide receiver position (31.54 points to 15.7).
Jeff's Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Brett Maher may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
