Coach Talk

Mindy Blunk's Team
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Mindy Blunk's Team. Starting a player with zero points (John Brown), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
VikingDog!!!
Listen, VikingDog!!!, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes a couple extra points can just miraculously appear out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
