Coach Talk

Thoroughbreds
Deploying a lineup that accounted for more than 260 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we head into our Week 3 matchup.
Blinja Warrior
Look, Blinja Warrior, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes eight extra points will just miraculously appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
