Coach Talk

Brian's Boss Team
A boss performance, indeed! With six consecutive wins, Brian's Boss Team has backed up the squad's nickname for well over a month now!
SpiceGirl
Registering only one single target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for SpiceGirl should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
