Coach Talk

Sasquatch
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Sasquatch. It takes guts to roll out a starter with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
All injured Stars
Tis the season, All injured Stars! We hope the GM of Sasquatch will send a thank-you card for the generous 166.66-point gift this past week.
