Coach Talk

Keystone Brawlers
Whoa now Keystone Brawlers, that's what we're lookin' for! A completion percentage of 97% this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Drew Brees. That Colts defense didn't stand a chance! We know the manager of Keystone Brawlers has got to be grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
Malosos
You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, Malosos. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Keystone Brawlers succeed this week. Who knows, maybe you'll see them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they bench a few good players that week to return the favor!
