Coach Talk

Night Hawk
Bravo, Night Hawk. Nice job deploying a starting crew that blew the opposition out by nearly 100 points in Week 4. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 5 matchup.
PIERMONSTERS
There's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around, PIERMONSTERS! Your upcoming opponents could look at the win-loss record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Use that to your advantage and deploy your strongest possible starting lineups... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
