Coach Talk

The Rubensteins
Listen The Rubensteins, the good news is that we took this matchup by 5.7 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through four weeks was 147.24. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Mike's Team
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Mike's Team should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
