Coach Talk

Donald's Team
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Donald's Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Ira Savage-Lewis), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Mississippi
You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Donald's Team succeed this week... and perhaps one day, they can do you a solid and return the favor. Keep pushing forward, Mississippi!
