Coach Talk

Beefman
Well done, Beefman. Good work deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by a whopping 22 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 9.
RJ Machismo
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for RJ Machismo did not receive a single target via the passing game this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 9!
