Coach Talk

Duluth Eskimos
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Duluth Eskimos. Deploying a starter with zero points (DeeJay Dallas), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
