Coach Talk

-DankZ-
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, -DankZ-. Playing a starter with zero points (Gerald Everett), while still earning a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Tugpole's Lil' Tykes
With literally no passes thrown their way this past week the starting RBs for Tugpole's Lil' Tykes clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
