Coach Talk

Team Strong
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat it, Team Strong. Our running backs were utterly outclassed this past week. Darwin Thompson (eight total yards, no TDs) logged just 15.6 points in Week 3, and the starting backfield for H-Town Finest showed us up by recording a score of 40.2. Let's put some more effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
H-Town Finest
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Team Strong succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they can return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something along those lines). Keep pushing forward, H-Town Finest!
