Coach Talk

Mr big puff
Hey, it's good to be confident, Mr big puff. Deploying a starter with zero points (Brevin Jordan), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Gridiron Gladiators
Happy holidays, Gridiron Gladiators! We hope the GM of Mr big puff will send a thank-you card for the generous 81.38-point gift this past week.
