Coach Talk

Mighty Mike's Team #5
You know what, Mighty Mike's Team #5, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Jamaal Williams), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
