Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling display by Tom Brady, we doubled up Doughboys at the quarterback position this past week (31.3 points to 15.25). Brady went 31-for-45 for 390 yards and two TDs in a 31-27 win over the Falcons.

Happy holidays, Doughboys! We hope the GM of Negligent Discharges will write a thank-you card for the generous 120.05-point gift this past week.
