Coach Talk

Crazed Doggs
We do admire the confidence this past week, Crazed Doggs. Deploying a player with zero points (Cameron Brate), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
