Coach Talk

Squirrel Murphy’s
Wow, the Packers secondary didn't stand a chance! 29 completions on 36 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Squirrel Murphy’s is grateful for the attention to detail.
Fry Em
Keep your head held high, Fry Em! You can rest easy knowing that your kindness didn't go unnoticed. It took real generosity to help someone like Squirrel Murphy’s succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by going Defense-Kicker in the first two rounds of the 2021 draft, something along those lines.
