Coach Talk

GibraltarRock
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Chris Boswell just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
温州榕树
Take my word for it, 温州榕树... Coming from a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
