Coach Talk

keith's Team
We wonder if the GM of keith's Team was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 4.86 points, Greg Zuerlein (1-for-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've made the outcome just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Tic - Boo
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you... if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the street!
