Best Mic’d Up Moments of Week 9 | UFL

“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.
