Coach Talk

DA BULLS
Hey, we admire the confidence, DA BULLS. Deploying a player with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky.
GOTA’s Grand Finale
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like DA BULLS succeed... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head up, GOTA’s Grand Finale!
