Coach Talk

Tom's Glorious Team
Hey Tom's Glorious Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 22 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 108.58. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Michael's Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
