Coach Talk

Sam's Splendid Team
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and literally doubled up JT TRIBAL CHIEF at the quarterback position (30.92 points to 13.28).
JT TRIBAL CHIEF
Trust me on this one, JT TRIBAL CHIEF... Coming from a coach who's lived life on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the street!
