Coach Talk

Alissa's Choice Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Alissa's Choice Team. Starting a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
janet's Team
Only one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Matt Prater might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
