Coach Talk

YKTV
Props to you, YKTV. Fielding a lineup that recorded 134.6 points this past week.
Mottola Scam’s
Listen, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 15 points is a bit excessive. Keep your chin up, Mottola Scam’s!
