Coach Talk

Crab Legs
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 25.5 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Captain Zippy's Army, and continue pushing forward to the Bucs Rule league title.
Captain Zippy's Army
Keep your head up, Captain Zippy's Army! Look, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to randomly show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an extra 26 points may be a bit much.
