Coach Talk

Ripsnorters
You know what, Ripsnorters, we do admire the confidence. It takes a certain sort of moxie to start a player with zero points (the Tennessee Titans defense), while still getting the W! We just ask you to please keep 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?
Short Bus Ryderz
With just a couple of catches this past week, the starting RBs for Short Bus Ryderz should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
