Coach Talk

richard's Swag Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, richard's Swag Team. It takes moxie to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Brandin Cooks, David Johnson, and A.J. Green), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
RockStar2019
This matchup was just too spooky for us, RockStar2019! It turned out that Teddy Bridgewater felt like ghosting on your team, while richard's Swag Team played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
