Coach Talk

The Awesomeness
Hey, football is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome display from Ryan Tannehill, we thoroughly outplayed Suck ItTrebek at the quarterback position this past week (40.02 points to 15.04). Tannehill went 21-for-27 for 273 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 46-25 win over the Lions.

Tis the season, Suck ItTrebek! We hope the GM of The Awesomeness will pen a thank-you card for the generous 95.74-point gift this past week.
