Coach Talk

Vultures
Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied over 183 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of WarEagle, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the OklahomIraqis League AFC championship.
WarEagle
Look, WarEagle, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes seven extra points can just magically come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
