Coach Talk

Ozark I kes
Listen, Ozark I kes, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Ty Johnson), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Shadows
Look, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of the blue. And then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay; asking for an additional 29 points may be a bit on the excessive side. Keep your chin up, The Shadows!
