Coach Talk

HOTDISH HOOLIGANS
Wow, HOTDISH HOOLIGANS, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 53.62 points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings. Nice job!
The Phantom Limbs
"Not getting many chances" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for The Phantom Limbs. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 2. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched just 13 catches.
