Coach Talk

KOOL-K8T
Nice work, KOOL-K8T. Assembling a lineup that won by more than 21 points in Week 3. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of AA Ron Balakay, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
AA Ron Balakay
Look, AA Ron Balakay, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 3) they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an additional 22 points might be a bit overzealous.
