Coach Talk
STL Busters!
Nice work, STL Busters!. Bravo on deploying a team that blew the competition out by over 26 points this past matchup.
Easy Mode
Look, Easy Mode, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 15) they don't! Hmmm, alright... hoping for an extra 27 points may be a bit overzealous.
