Coach Talk

Arizona Mini Teeth
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and royally dominated Throw up the X at the quarterback position (28 points to 6).
Throw up the X
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Michael Badgley might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance.
