Coach Talk

The Dream Team
Nice work assembling a lineup that registered more than 148 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The King, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the Dynasty league title.
The King
Trust me on this one (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that pro-bono Assistant Coaching gig available at the nearby Pop Warner team down the road! Keep your head up, The King!
