Coach Talk

PackerBacker
Football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by Michael Thomas and DeAndre Hopkins, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Jane's Team at wide receiver (39.7 points to 16.5). Thomas had 128 receiving yards while Hopkins chipped in with 119 yards.
Jane's Team
Listen, Jane's Team, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an extra 35 points may be a bit excessive.
