Coach Talk

KC Warpaint
Assembling a lineup that won by 437 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of CommanderInChief's, take this victory in stride, and continue marching forward to the KansasCityKickAssers! league title.
CommanderInChief's
Registering only one single target this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for CommanderInChief's obviously need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
