Coach Talk

LindsayRohan
Nice job, LindsayRohan. Props on assembling a lineup that blew the opponent out by more than 20 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into what's sure to be an exceedingly formidable Week 4 matchup.
FromTEtoWR
Look, FromTEtoWR, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 3) they don't! Hmmm, okay... maybe asking for an extra 21 points is a little excessive.
