Coach Talk

Jersey Generals
Good work deploying a starting crew that won by 51.75 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next matchup in Week 6.
Kansas City Kitty
Here's a list of scenarios where it's excusable 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 basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Cade York may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following that sort of effort.
