Coach Talk

Kush Gordon
Good work deploying a lineup that netted more than 96 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of GD Team, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the WHAT?! Radio Football - VII league title.
GD Team
The good news is that there's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around. Your next few opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they have an easy matchup. Try to do what the Los Angeles Chargers defense did this week... bend but not break. Catch those complacent managers off-guard! Keep pushing forward, GD Team!
