Coach Talk

Boston Breakers
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, Boston Breakers. Deploying a starter with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're done.
Birmingham Barracudas
With four receptions on only five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Birmingham Barracudas should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
