Coach Talk

Alex Le's Team
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up DarwinThompsonLIVMVP at the wide receiver position (43.6 points to 20.6).
DarwinThompsonLIVMVP
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
