Coach Talk

Long Island Steelers
Bravo, Long Island Steelers. Good work fielding a team that won by 23.7 points in Week 1. We should tip our cap to the GM of Dillon Panthers, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the CZNFL A League 20 title.
Dillon Panthers
Recording three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Dillon Panthers should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
