Coach Talk

The People’s Champ
Nice job, The People’s Champ. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 17 points this past week. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Top of The Rock, and continue our march towards the Wwe league title.
Top of The Rock
Producing four receptions on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Top of The Rock should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
