Coach Talk

Michael's Misfits
You know what, Michael's Misfits, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Anthony Schwartz and Maxx Crosby), while still getting a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against TX4vida and we're sure to be toast.
Butt Ruckers
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 4, right? The seven offensive skill starters (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Butt Ruckers collectively put up 352 yards and no touchdowns this past week. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 560 yards and four scores.
