Coach Talk

Scarlet Heart Ryeo
Props to you, Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Nice work deploying a starting crew that blew the competition out by a whopping 32.48 points this past matchup. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Runnin' Rebs, and continue marching forward to the CZNFL Keeper League championship.
Runnin' Rebs
Listen, Runnin' Rebs, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just magically appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes (*cough cough*, Week 5) they don't! Okay, okay... perhaps asking for an additional 33 points is a bit overzealous.
