Coach Talk

Jake The Dark Horse
Listen, Jake The Dark Horse, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (DK Metcalf and Johnathan Hankins), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Rabbi Keenums
Happy holidays, Rabbi Keenums! We hope the GM of Jake The Dark Horse will write a thank-you card for the generous gift you offered them this past week.
