Coach Talk

Steel Reign
Nice job, Steel Reign. Kudos on fielding a lineup that won by over 17 points this past week.
Doughboys
Keep your head held high, Doughboys! Look, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay; it probably would have required some serious wizardry to find an extra 18 points for you in this matchup.
