Coach Talk

Least Managed Team
Listen, Least Managed Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Calvin Ridley and D'Andre Swift), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Swany's Sackers
