Coach Talk

Refrigerator Perry
Well done, Refrigerator Perry. Deploying a starting crew that tallied nearly 244 points in Week 1. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 2.
Unladen Swallows
Keep your head held high, Unladen Swallows! Look, I've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to randomly show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, okay; finding an additional 44 points for you this past matchup probably would've taken some serious wizardry.
