That said, check out the best mic'd up moments of the week!
"The mic is hot, and the coach is hot too!"
Defenders head coach Reggie Barlow dropped a few gems during his mic'd up moments on Sunday — from hilarious comments about the hot mic to wondering if he could compete against a few of the Showboats' big men.
"Gun, Fix, Right, 22 Paint, Dragon Pump, Z-Swirl on one!"
For non-football fans, this may have sounded like someone casting a spell, but the tongue-twisting play call landed Roughnecks QB Nolan Henderson in the end zone with ease.
Houston followed up the scoring play with yet another complex-sounding call that was equally successful.
"Nah, dawg … [you] know not to run a 5-7 side 8!"
Panthers DE Breeland Speaks had a dominant day, and spoke up loudly before and after taking down Roughnecks' RB Mark Thompson.
Speaks ended the day with six tackles and three sacks in Houston's victory.
