Coach Talk

Will0120
Props to you, Will0120. Assembling a team that earned 106.6 points this past week.
Flash
Look, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes six extra points can just instantly appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot. Keep pushing forward, Flash!
