Coach Talk

Big Baller Bastards
Whoa, Big Baller Bastards, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 35.48 points, you also jumped up a ridiculous three spots in the league standings!
Manchester Mercs
"Not seeing enough opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Manchester Mercs. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 21 targets in Week 2. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 11 balls.
