Coach Talk

Thats Weird
Hey, quick math, Thats Weird... what's the result when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky victory against BeastMode Training, if you ask me! Starting a half-dozen players who didn't get any points this past week - are you sure we deserved this victory?
BeastMode Training
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting running backs for BeastMode Training should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
