Coach Talk

Chill Pill
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Refrigerator Perry at the wide receiver position (63.6 points to 25.5).
Refrigerator Perry
Don't get too down on yourself, Refrigerator Perry! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching gig open at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
