Coach Talk

Skin Thack
Well done, Skin Thack. Assembling a lineup that won by more than 46 points this past week. We should tip our cap to the GM of Ron Mexico, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the LAOS FL league title.
Ron Mexico
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings this week. Zero wins and one loss for Ron Mexico on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics staff keeps badgering me, saying that this is the kind of coincidence we gotta stay away from.
