Coach Talk

Springfield Spartans
Listen, Springfield Spartans, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky.
Action Jackson
Tis the season, Action Jackson! We hope the GM of Springfield Spartans will send a thank-you card for the generous 143.88-point gift this past week.
