Coach Talk

Parole Violators
We're wondering if the GM of Parole Violators was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 0.6 points, Ka'imi Fairbairn (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals just wouldn't have been exciting enough. Remember kids, every point matters!
Mr. Big Flex
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you... if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching job available at the local high school down the road!
