Coach Talk

Covid Kingdom
Nice job, Covid Kingdom. Kudos on fielding a lineup that won by 12.62 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Daisy and the Bug, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards the Player's Club league title.
Daisy and the Bug
Lots of activity between the 20's: The six offensive position starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Daisy and the Bug combined to register a healthy 415 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, was able to find the end zone in Week 3.
