Coach Talk

Tidal Wave
Mission accomplished, Tidal Wave. Nice job deploying a lineup that recorded 657.62 points this past week. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Easy Money, and continue on our way towards the 1st and 10 league title.
Easy Money
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Michael Badgley might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
