Coach Talk

BlOrB
Hey, we admire the confidence, BlOrB. Deploying a player with zero points (Ricky Seals-Jones), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
DirtyMikeAndTheBoyz
You can take comfort in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, DirtyMikeAndTheBoyz. It takes a true winner to help someone like BlOrB succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something like that!
