Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
Yo, Mr. Phamtastic, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this blowout. Not only did you win by more than 26 points, you also jumped up a whopping three spots in the league standings!
LBJ GOAT
You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Mr. Phamtastic succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep pushing forward, LBJ GOAT!
