Coach Talk

dewy1's Team
You know what, dewy1's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to start a player with zero points (Noah Fant), while still getting a W. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Runninwiththerookies
Listen, Runninwiththerookies, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes 10 extra points will just randomly appear out of the blue... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you gave it your best shot.
