Coach Talk

Williams
Listen, Williams, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (James Conner), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant.
Believeland
Happy holidays, Believeland! We hope the GM of Williams will pen a thank-you card for the generous 92.23-point gift this past week.
