Coach Talk

THE ONE
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, THE ONE. Starting a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
BigNasty's Ballaz
Listen, BigNasty's Ballaz, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! You know, the more I think about it... hoping for an additional 38 points may be a bit excessive.
