Coach Talk

Spyders
Good work, Spyders. Assembling a starting crew that won by more than 12 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Rodgers Neighborhood, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the No Quitters (Season 11) league title.
Rodgers Neighborhood
There's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around, Rodgers Neighborhood! These upcoming opponents might take a peek at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
