Coach Talk

Jason's Cool Team
These types of close victories can be remarkably important for team chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... expect the Jason's Cool Team locker room to really gel heading into Week 10.
Other Mike Wallace
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Brandon McManus might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance... especially every point being so important to Other Mike Wallace in this narrow matchup.
