Coach Talk

Griffin’s Great Team
Deploying a lineup that tallied 107.5 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
OTK Destroyers
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Greg Joseph might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort... especially each point being so vital for OTK Destroyers in this narrow matchup.
