Coach Talk

SUPERNUPE
Nice job, SUPERNUPE. Kudos on fielding a lineup that recorded more than 129 points in Week 9. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Wardawgs, and continue pushing forward to the SUPERBALL 2019 league championship.
Wardawgs
With only three receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Wardawgs should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
