Coach Talk

Beefs are Poultry
Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 26.64 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum as we move on to what will surely be a formidable Week 4 matchup.
William Starcher8
Look, William Starcher8, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 3) they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an extra 27 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
