Coach Talk

Chark Week
Bravo, Chark Week. Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 42.76 points this past week.
Beantown Champs
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline 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? Seems like Wil Lutz may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort.
