Coach Talk

Piesh's Players
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Piesh's Players. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (John Brown), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Nighthawks 11 and see what happens!
PILLAGE & PLUNDER
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that occasionally, free points just seem to randomly appear out of the blue. And then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay; asking for an additional 16 points might be a bit on the excessive side. Keep your head up, PILLAGE & PLUNDER!
