Coach Talk

Crown My Ass
Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by 14 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 2 matchup.
The Willowdale 46
Look, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to miraculously appear out of thin air. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, okay; hoping for an extra 15 points might be a bit excessive. Keep your head up, The Willowdale 46!
