Coach Talk

LOVE Brokers
Now that's what we call a bounce-back... The GM of LOVE Brokers shrugged off their two-game winless skid by logging a staggering 143.52 points this past week!
The Empire
Look, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... asking for an additional 41 points may be a little excessive. Keep your head up, The Empire!
