Coach Talk

Game of Jones
Kudos to you, Game of Jones. Nice work deploying a team that blew the competition out by almost 73 points this past week. We should tip our cap to the GM of Matty Ice and Co., take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Too Many Californians league championship.
Matty Ice and Co.
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 5, right? The seven starting offensive skill players on Matty Ice and Co. (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register 315 yards and just four touchdowns in Week 4. The skill players on Game of Jones definitely outperformed us by logging 678 yards and seven scores.
