Coach Talk

Clark Kent
Wow, Clark Kent, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by more than 70 points, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
FEAR THE NECKBEARD
FEAR THE NECKBEARD may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 12. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied just 14 receptions.
