Coach Talk

Ryan's Team
Nice work assembling a starting crew that recorded almost 110 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
What's this for?
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Ryan's Team succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (something along those lines). Keep your head up, What's this for?!
