Coach Talk

Dongers
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Mehunglow at the wide receiver position (53.88 points to 20.6).
Mehunglow
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, Mehunglow! Your upcoming opponents may glance at the win-loss record and foolishly believe they've got an easy matchup. Use it to your advantage and deploy the strongest possible starting lineups... catch these complacent GMs snoozing!
