Coach Talk

Team America
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up $5 Dolla Holla at the wide receiver position (46 points to 19.5).
$5 Dolla Holla
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
