Coach Talk

💰Get Money💰
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, 💰Get Money💰. Deploying a starter with zero points (Corey Davis), while still getting a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week against Miyagi-Do Karate and see what happens.
Marvin’s Room
Look, we've been in this business long enough to realize that occasionally, free points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... perhaps asking for an extra 60 points is a bit excessive. Keep your head up, Marvin’s Room!
