Coach Talk

Mclaurin AD14
Wow, Mclaurin AD14, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this victory. Not only did you win by almost 24 points, you also climbed two places in the league standings!
The Tightest Ends
Don't get too discouraged, The Tightest Ends! Look, I've been at it long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to miraculously appear out of thin air. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay; it probably would have required some extreme wizardry to come up with an additional two-dozen points for you this past matchup.
