Coach Talk

NashVegas Rebels
Wow, that Lions defense didn't stand a chance! 22 connections on 27 attempts... good enough for an 81% completion percentage for Aaron Rodgers. We know the GM of NashVegas Rebels is grateful for this type of attention to detail.
Inner City Limits
Listen up, Inner City Limits! You can rest easy knowing that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like NashVegas Rebels succeed... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of next year's draft, something like that.
