Coach Talk

DITKA
Props to you, DITKA. Deploying a team that exceeded the century mark this past week. We should tip our cap to the GM of Tragically Malicious, take this W in stride, and continue marching forward to the Hiawatha Elite League title.
Tragically Malicious
Wait, our starting QB threw an interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here: Was Kyler Murray really that inaccurate from the pocket, or were the Seahawks just that great against the pass? What do you think, Tragically Malicious, do we continue to start him with confidence?
