Coach Talk

Mist and Shadow
Good work, Mist and Shadow. Putting together a lineup that netted 135.48 points this past week.
THE BOTTOM!
Keep your head up, THE BOTTOM!! Look, I've been at it long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to miraculously appear out of the blue. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... hoping for an extra 31 points might be a bit excessive.
