Coach Talk

Sam's bold team
You know Sam's bold team, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 28 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 150.66. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Thanks obama
Chin up, Thanks obama! You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Sam's bold team succeed... and when the time comes, maybe they'll return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of the 2019 draft (...something like that).
