Coach Talk

Old Leather Balls
Props to you, Old Leather Balls. Nice work assembling a team that blew the competition out by nearly 72 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we step into what could be a winnable Week 2 matchup.
JABarcher
With only a couple of receptions on four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for JABarcher should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
