Coach Talk

Little Girls
Mission accomplished, Little Girls. Nice work fielding a lineup that posted 131.6 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of ItaliA, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
ItaliA
Don't beat yourself up too badly, ItaliA! You can rest easy knowing that your kindness this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes real generosity to help someone like Little Girls succeed... and when the time comes, maybe they'll do you a solid and return the favor.
