Coach Talk

drizz
Putting together a lineup that won by over 74 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Axel
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Joey Slye might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
