Coach Talk

Potsy's Posse
You know Potsy's Posse, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 513.47 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 415.76 we needed for this past week's win!
War Pigs
Here's a list of scenarios where it's (borderline) excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Brett Maher might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of effort.
