Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Props to you, PIERMONSTERS. Fielding a team that earned more than 184 points this past week.
Doc's Devils
Keep your head up, Doc's Devils! You can feel good knowing that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It takes real generosity to help someone like PIERMONSTERS succeed... and maybe one day, they can return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of next year's draft, something along those lines.
