Coach Talk

Mean Machine
Bravo, Mean Machine. Nice job deploying a lineup that registered more than 202 points this past week.
JollyRogers
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
