Coach Talk

lovemushi's Team
Listen lovemushi's Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 99.24 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 85.18 we needed to win this past week!
LEGENDZQH
Just two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
