Coach Talk

future flash
Nice job, future flash. Assembling a team that won by 67.69 points this past matchup.
Destroyers
Listen, Destroyers, I've been in this industry long enough to know 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 68 points may be a little much.
