Coach Talk

Brendan's Team
Listen, Brendan's Team, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to field a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win.
Abusement Park
Just one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Michael Badgley may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
