Coach Talk

Kelly's Kanines
Now that's what we call righting the ship! The GM of Kelly's Kanines shrugged off their five-game winless streak by logging a whopping 155.54 points this past week.
SIXBURGH
SIXBURGH may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 6. With only 17 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
