Coach Talk

Nick
Talk about a bounce-back... The GM of Nick shrugged off their five-game losing streak by putting up a staggering 154.65 points this past week!
L.A. Golds
Logging four receptions on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for L.A. Golds should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
