Coach Talk

deepball
Whoa, deepball, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. In addition to a 29-point victory, you also climbed two places in the league standings. Nice job!
The Cereal Killers
Don't get too discouraged, The Cereal Killers! Look, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to magically appear out of the blue. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, okay... finding an extra 30 points for you this past matchup really would've required some serious wizardry.
