Coach Talk

L.A. Golds
Yo, L.A. Golds, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by almost 48 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Baby Chark
Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... hoping for an extra 48 points may be a bit overzealous. Keep pushing forward, Baby Chark!
