Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
Listen Desert Eagles, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 103.25 points through Week 4, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 84 we needed to win this past week!
V for ...
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: 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 following this effort.
