Coach Talk

Nighthawks 11
Nice job deploying a lineup that accounted for more than 129 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Shelley Showtime, and continue our march towards the Hail Mary KL VI $55 league championship.
Shelley Showtime
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 39 targets in Week 5. With just 23 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
