Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Kudos on assembling a lineup that won by over 10 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 13.
Doughboys
Like the NFL's tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, Doughboys! Try to take comfort in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Negligent Discharges succeed... and when the time comes, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in the 2022 draft (...something along those lines).
