Coach Talk

2LEGIT
Nice job, 2LEGIT. Putting together a team that won by a whopping 52.56 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into what could be a winnable Week 10 matchup.
#1 Dirty Bird
Don't beat yourself up too badly, #1 Dirty Bird! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that pro-bono Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
