Coach Talk

Kati's Legit Team
Putting together a starting crew that won by more than 52 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Kelly #12, and continue on our way towards the Rivera league championship.
Kelly #12
There's still a lot of football left to be played, Kelly #12! Your upcoming opponents may glance at the win-loss record and foolishly believe they've got an easy matchup. Do what Tom Brady would after throwing a pick, and go deep on your next opportunity... catch those complacent managers snoozing!
