Coach Talk

Cloud 9 Stonerz
Listen, Cloud 9 Stonerz, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to deploy a player with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still earning the win. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Rodney's Optimal Team
You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, Rodney's Optimal Team. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Cloud 9 Stonerz succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
