Coach Talk

Gritz Blitz
Now that's what we call righting the ship... The GM of Gritz Blitz shrugged off their two-game winless skid by logging a tremendous 126 points this past week!
The Klingons
Registering only one measly target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Klingons should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
