Coach Talk

Tamil Tigers
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really emphasized that by doubling up VACHout at running back this past week (41.45 points to 19.25).
VACHout
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Michael Badgley might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
