Coach Talk

Jeppers Creepers
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? In a matchup this close, Brett Maher probably had the GM of Jeppers Creepers sweating bullets.
Manitoba Stolis
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Manitoba Stolis. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Jeppers Creepers succeed this week.
