Coach Talk

Bears 85
We're wondering if the GM of Bears 85 was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 3.25 points, Rodrigo Blankenship (3-for-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've made the outcome just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
haligans
Take my word for it, haligans... Coming from a coach who's practically never *not* been on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that gritty Assistant Coaching gig available at the local high school down the street!
