Coach Talk

Assembling a lineup that produced 199.72 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Brian McDougall, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.

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 basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
