Coach Talk

NoDirtyLandry
Talk about a bounce-back! The GM of NoDirtyLandry shrugged off their two-game losing skid by putting up a staggering 125.5 points this past week.
HeadKnockers
Look, HeadKnockers, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 15) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... asking for an additional 14 points may be a bit excessive.
