Coach Talk

Mike's Team
We do respect the confidence this past week, Mike's Team. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jeff Heath and Le'Veon Bell), while still earning 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?
Just Bring It
Try to take comfort in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, Just Bring It. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Mike's Team succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
