Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Yo, Negligent Discharges, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by more than 51 points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings!
War Pony
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, War Pony! These upcoming opponents may take a peek at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Take a page out of Brandon McManus's book and put your best foot forward... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
