Coach Talk

FDC Chiefs
Yo, FDC Chiefs, you put the rest of the league on notice with this victory. Not only did you win by more than 19 points, you also jumped up from 10th place to eighth in the league standings!
ExigentCircumstances
Look, ExigentCircumstances, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 3) they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 20 points is a bit on the excessive side.
