Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Whoa, that Colts defense didn't stand a chance! 29 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a 97 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Comeback Kid has gotta be grateful for the attention to detail.
REAL DEAL AjiPhil !
Listen, REAL DEAL AjiPhil !, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 15) they don't! Hmmm, alright... perhaps asking for an extra two-dozen points is a bit much.
