Coach Talk

Steel Falcons
Whoa, Steel Falcons, do you consult for NASA or something? Not only did you win by 48 points, you also launched yourself up to fifth place in the league standings!
Disco Stu
Listen, Disco Stu, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! You know, the more I think about it... perhaps asking for an additional 49 points is a bit on the excessive side.
