Coach Talk

Stay Cappin
Hey, it's good to be confident, Stay Cappin. Deploying a starter with zero points (Darren Waller), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Blitz and Glamour
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, 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 might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
