Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
Well, Desert Eagles, a tie isn't exactly the best-case scenario we'd all hoped for, but at least it's not a loss, right? Consider this fair warning: if you think it may potentially occur again in the postseason, make sure you know your league's tiebreaker procedures!
Iz Čikaga moji...
Keep your head held high, Iz Čikaga moji...! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness did not go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Desert Eagles succeed this week... and when the time comes, maybe they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (...something along those lines).
