Coach Talk

CommanderInChief's
Props to you, CommanderInChief's. Fielding a lineup that won by 377 points in Week 8. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of TheNigerianNightmare, and continue the march towards the KansasCityKickAssers! league championship.
TheNigerianNightmare
There's still a ton of time left to turn this season around, TheNigerianNightmare! These upcoming opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they have a cakewalk. Use it to your advantage and deploy the best possible starting lineups... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
