Coach Talk

The Pahrump Pigeons
Props to you, The Pahrump Pigeons. Putting together a lineup that won by almost 18 points this past week. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Ventura Vultures, and continue on our way towards the F0otBall! league title.
Ventura Vultures
Our quarterback threw an interception and no touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Were the Jets actually that great defending the pass, or was Ryan Fitzpatrick just that out-of-tune with the receivers? What do you think, Ventura Vultures, do we continue to start him with confidence?
