Coach Talk

Gary Busey
Putting together a lineup that netted 159.7 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of People Who Annoy You, and continue our march towards the Sean Greg Memorial League championship.
People Who Annoy You
Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, free points just seem to magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... hoping for an additional 36 points may be a little much. Keep your head up, People Who Annoy You!
