Polo G
Nice work, Polo G. Fielding a team that won by over 10 points this past week. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 4 matchup.
Amy's Grid Iron Gang
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Polo G succeed... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something along those lines). Keep your head up, Amy's Grid Iron Gang!
