Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
Putting together a lineup that won by nearly 24 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Citrus Coolers, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the League of Champions title.
Citrus Coolers
Only one make on three field goal tries? Sounds like Justin Tucker might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
