Coach Talk

Cabernet Crazies
We're curious if the GM of Cabernet Crazies was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 3.44 points, Brandon McManus (0-for-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember kids, every point matters!
GridIron Bullies
