Coach Talk

Slink's Mayhem
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Poldi Steelers at the wide receiver position (54.8 points to 13.6).
Poldi Steelers
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Slink's Mayhem succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep pushing forward, Poldi Steelers!
