Coach Talk

Team Tadlock
Good job assembling a starting crew that won by 10.75 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should tip our cap to the GM of The Xtreme, take this W in stride, and continue pushing forward to the OklahomIraqis League PFC championship.
The Xtreme
Don't beat yourself up too badly, The Xtreme! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Team Tadlock succeed this week... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (...something like that).
