Coach Talk

Swamisnilators
You know what, Swamisnilators, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Eric Kendricks), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Junk Yard Dogs
When the dust settles, only one GM is actually gonna win this thing, Junk Yard Dogs... there's a lot to be said for taking the classy route, gracefully applauding those who do emerge victorious, and begin regrouping for next season!
