Coach Talk

Troy's Swell Team
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing by Matt Ryan, we thoroughly outplayed GEORGE's Grand Team at the quarterback position this past week (25.04 points to 6.92). Ryan went 22-for-36 for 231 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 40-14 win over the Cardinals.
GEORGE's Grand Team
Chin up, GEORGE's Grand Team! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to miraculously appear out of thin air. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay; hoping for an extra 21 points may be a bit excessive.
