Coach Talk

Chris's Team
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing from Jalen Hurts, we doubled up Eli Manning Sucks at the quarterback position this past week (35.66 points to 16.42). Hurts went 26-for-36 for 239 yards in a three-point win over the Cardinals.
Eli Manning Sucks
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Cade York might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
