Coach Talk

PAPA PAPARAZZI!
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 250 more total yards than the RBs on Cute Toes (397 yards from scrimmage to 147), and we ended up tripling them at the position (56 points to 18).
Cute Toes
Happy holidays, Cute Toes! We hope the GM of PAPA PAPARAZZI! will write a thank-you card for the generous gift you offered them this past week.
