Coach Talk

Professor Chaos
Bravo, Professor Chaos. Nice job deploying a starting crew that blew the opponent out by a whopping 22 points this past matchup. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of CANES MAN, and continue on our way towards the The Justice League championship.
CANES MAN
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 29 targets in Week 1. With only 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
