Coach Talk

Ming Dynasty
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Ming Dynasty. It takes real gumption to roll out a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting a W.
Wonder Toe
Tis the season, Wonder Toe! We hope the GM of Ming Dynasty will pen a thank-you card for the generous 148.02-point gift this past week.
