Coach Talk

DominationStation
Putting together a lineup that netted more than 149 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of DARC NARC, and continue on our way towards the OklahomIraqis League NFC title.
DARC NARC
With just two receptions this past week, the starting RBs for DARC NARC should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
