Coach Talk

Joe Brrrrow 🥶
Listen Joe Brrrrow 🥶, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 126.74 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 105.18 we needed to win this past week!
Dawg Pound
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, Dawg Pound. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Joe Brrrrow 🥶 succeed. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they bench a few good players that week to return the favor!
