Coach Talk

Heisenberg
Wow, Heisenberg, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 49+ points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings!
The dirty birds
Look, The dirty birds, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... hoping for an additional 50 points may be a bit overzealous.
