Neil039 succumb to Kayfabe, 99.69-90.03

Coach Talk

Kayfabe
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Neil039 at running back this past week (36.04 points to 14.84).
Neil039
Don't get too discouraged, Neil039! Look, we've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally 10 extra points will just magically fall right into your lap... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
