Coach Talk

Bruising Knights
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Bruising Knights. Deploying a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
Greyhound Express
Just one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Michael Badgley might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
