Coach Talk

Kindergarten Cooper
Solid work this past week, Kindergarten Cooper! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a tough challenge in John Matrix Commando.
Gronk the Barbarian
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Tyler Bass might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
