Coach Talk

PITBULL BLOOD DOGS
Deploying a lineup that tallied 240 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of King Cobras, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Make_It_Do_What_It_Do league championship.
King Cobras
We were just taking it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 7, right? The six starting offensive position players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on King Cobras combined to register 375 yards and just three touchdowns this past week. The skill players on PITBULL BLOOD DOGS definitely outperformed us by logging 615 yards and six scores.
