Coach Talk

Team Name Required
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: 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? It's quite possible that Wil Lutz just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Pimp Squeaks
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Pimp Squeaks collectively logged three catches on only four measly targets this past week.
