Coach Talk

Naked Bootlegs
Well done, Naked Bootlegs. Putting together a team that won by nearly 25 points this past week.
Night Hawk
Look, Night Hawk, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 14) they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an additional 25 points is a bit on the excessive side.
