Coach Talk

Ducks Go Pro
Deploying a starting crew that produced 151.54 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of gridironposse, and continue the march towards the Embrace The Duck league title.
gridironposse
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of Dwight Howard free throws. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Chris Boswell may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
