Coach Talk

Orange bloods
Good work assembling a starting crew that registered 126.6 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
GreatPlainsDrifters
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Orange bloods succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they can return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head up, GreatPlainsDrifters!
