Coach Talk

Destroyers
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Pops's Beerpounders at running back this past week (82.84 points to 37.08).
Pops's Beerpounders
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal 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 Stephen Gostkowski may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
