Coach Talk

The Expendables
Bravo, The Expendables. Fielding a starting crew that won by nearly 66 points this past matchup... let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of New England Slammer, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
New England Slammer
Listen, we've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally, free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. And then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay; asking for an additional 66 points may be a bit much. Keep pushing forward, New England Slammer!
