Coach Talk

Vultures
Whoa, Vultures, do you consult for NASA or something? Not only did you win by almost 53 points, you also skyrocketed up to seventh place in the league standings!
Rebel Alliance
With just two receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Rebel Alliance obviously should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
