Coach Talk

Firefighters
Nice job, Firefighters. Props on deploying a lineup that posted more than 109 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we step into our next matchup in Week 4.
Ron & GM
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, Ron & GM! Your next few opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they have a cakewalk. Use that to your advantage and deploy the strongest possible starting lineups... catch those complacent managers snoozing!
