Coach Talk

CHEMDAWGS
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Dwight Howard free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Mason Crosby just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Nightmares
With one reception on just two targets this past week, the starting running backs for Nightmares should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
