Coach Talk

Budd Light
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Budd Light. Starting a player with negative points (the Indianapolis Colts defense) while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
HTTR!
Keep your head held high, HTTR!! Look, I've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, free points just seem to miraculously appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... finding an extra 107 points for you this past matchup probably would've required some serious wizardry.
