Coach Talk

Cruz Control
Whoa, Cruz Control, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by nearly 22 points, you also climbed a couple of spots in the league standings... directly into the thick of postseason contention
FreshPrinceOfHelaire
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Joey Slye may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
