Coach Talk

Soulard Saints
Whoa now Soulard Saints, that's the sort of performance we love to see! A completion percentage of 84% for Jalen Hurts this past week. Quality *and* quantity! That Vikings secondary didn't see it coming! We know the GM of Soulard Saints is grateful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
The Replacements
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you: if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the street!
