Coach Talk

The Whiskey Kid
Listen, The Whiskey Kid, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Micah Kiser and Lamar Jackson), while still getting the W.
methylated spirits
With literally zero passes thrown their direction this past week the starting RBs for methylated spirits should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
