Coach Talk

Donald Trump
Good work assembling a starting crew that won by almost 23 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next matchup in Week 14.
Lights Kamara Action
Listen, we've been in this business long enough to know that occasionally, free points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... perhaps asking for an additional 23 points is a bit much. Keep your head up, Lights Kamara Action!
