Coach Talk

Pack Rats
Mission accomplished, Pack Rats. Good job fielding a team that won by 34.75 points in Week 7. We should tip our cap to the GM of Valley Vikings, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Aaron's Boys league title.
Valley Vikings
Hey, usually 280.65 points isn't too ghoulish of a showing, Valley Vikings. The spookiest issue this past week is that you had to face Pack Rats and their scary score of 315.4.
