Coach Talk

Vinoř Steelers
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Russell Wilson, we royally dominated Aither's Team at the quarterback position this past week (24.8 points to 9.08). Wilson went 11-for-17 for 185 yards and four TDs in a 43-16 victory over the 49ers.
Aither's Team
I mean, just think big-picture here: only one manager's actually gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for taking the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do emerge victorious, and start regrouping for next season! Keep pushing forward, Aither's Team!
