Coach Talk

Runaway Train VIII
Hey Runaway Train VIII, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost six points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 127.67. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
YOUR DOOM
