Coach Talk

Blue Skywalker
Yo, Blue Skywalker, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this victory. Not only did you win by nearly 21 points, you also climbed a staggering three spots in the league standings... squarely into the thick of playoff contention
The Dog House
Listen, The Dog House, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay... asking for an extra 21 points might be a bit excessive.
