Coach Talk

Dirty Dogs
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by more than 15 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our next challenge in Week 2.
Team Tadlock
Listen, Team Tadlock, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... hoping for an additional 16 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
