Coach Talk

Dtae's Team
Deploying a starting crew that tallied almost 130 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Willie's Team, and continue on our way towards the Dtae's No Crybaby League title.
Willie's Team
Listen, Willie's Team, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! You know, now that I think about it... asking for an additional 32 points may be a little excessive.
