Coach Talk

Gridiron Goliaths
Bravo, Gridiron Goliaths. Nice job fielding a starting crew that won by more than 19 points in Week 14. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Herbert's Cook-n, and continue our march towards the Pigskin Prognosticators league championship.
Herbert's Cook-n
Don't get too discouraged, Herbert's Cook-n! Despite going with D'Onta Foreman at running back... unfortunately just not much was cookin' for your squad against Gridiron Goliaths this past week.
