Coach Talk

Hunter Hearst Henry
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance from Matthew Stafford, we thoroughly outplayed Goodell's Gonads at the quarterback position this past week (24.34 points to 3.32). Stafford lit the Bears secondary up to the tune of 321 yards and three passing touchdowns.
Goodell's Gonads
Don't get too distraught, Goodell's Gonads! Look, we've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally free points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright; it really would have taken some serious wizardry to locate an additional 19 points for you in this matchup.
