Coach Talk

DARC NARC
Good job deploying a lineup that tallied over 139 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Whackers
Listen up, Whackers! Look, I've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally five extra points can just miraculously appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
