Coach Talk

Stewies Pigskinners
Hey, it's good to be confident, Stewies Pigskinners. Deploying a player with zero points (Adam Thielen), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
HowAboutCowboys
With just one reception this past week, the starting RBs for HowAboutCowboys should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
