Coach Talk

Drill'erThen-Spiller
Bravo, Drill'erThen-Spiller. Good work fielding a team that tallied 106.66 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Bad JuJu, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the The League title.
Bad JuJu
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Cam Newton against the Rams this week. Zero wins and one loss for Bad JuJu on the 2019 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep telling me that this is the kind of "correlation" we'd like to avoid.
