Coach Talk

Crown My Ass
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and literally doubled up Dawgman at the quarterback position (54 points to 26).
Dawgman
Listen, Dawgman, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an extra 16 points may be a bit overzealous.
