Coach Talk

Nu' Yawk Giants
Nice job overcoming that two-match losing skid, Nu' Yawk Giants! Every fantasy GM will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep chipping away and remember that this season is far from over.
Free Ballin’
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable 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? Seems like Greg Joseph might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance.
