Coach Talk

Jimmy Guappolo
Yo, Jimmy Guappolo, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this performance. Not only did you win by 13.69 points, you also jumped up a ridiculous three spots in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Ember Island Players
The good news is that there's still a ton of football left to be played. Your upcoming opponents might look at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. You've got them exactly where you want 'em... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming! Just like the NFL's new tackling rules, it's important to keep your head up, Ember Island Players!
