Coach Talk

Gurles Gone Wild
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Our squad took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outplayed dongRapers at the quarterback position (63 points to 25).
dongRapers
You can feel good knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed, dongRapers. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Gurles Gone Wild succeed this week. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they forget to update their lineup that week to return the favor!
