Coach Talk

Mutinous Apes
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Mutinous Apes. Our QB was severely outclassed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for just 19.8 points in Week 15, and the QBs for War Pony doubled us up with a score of 45.25.
War Pony
Happy holidays, War Pony! We hope the GM of Mutinous Apes will pen a thank-you card for the generous 145.25-point gift this past week.
