Coach Talk

Raiders soul smasher
Quick, Raiders soul smasher, get out the calculator... what happens when you multiply five times zero? A pretty lucky victory against larry's Team, if you ask me! Starting five players who didn't get any points this past week - how did we get this win?
larry's Team
Look, larry's Team, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes six extra points will just miraculously 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 tried.
