Coach Talk

prespLAy
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound performance by Matthew Stafford, we utterly dominated Thunderstorm at the quarterback position this past week (31 points to 4). Stafford went 21-for-29 for 244 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 20-10 win over the Seahawks.
Thunderstorm
Happy holidays, Thunderstorm! We hope the GM of prespLAy will send a thank-you card for the generous 99-point gift this past week.
