Coach Talk

Midway Mutants
Well done, Midway Mutants. Good work fielding a starting crew that posted over 121 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into what's sure to be a particularly tough Week 14 matchup.
Tokyo Terminators
Chin up, Tokyo Terminators! Listen, I've been in this business long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to magically appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... asking for an additional 27 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
