Coach Talk
PittSteel88
Who really cares if your team ultimately slid to eighth place in the standings this past week... the important thing here is that you got the W. Remain laser-focused like this and the results are sure to follow.
Oscar's Optimal Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Greg Joseph might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
