Coach Talk

Bail Kings Era
Nice job assembling a lineup that tallied almost 128 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We should keep this momentum going as we step into our next matchup in Week 2.
Spyders
Chin up, Spyders! Listen, I've been at it long enough to realize that sometimes free points just seem to magically appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright; perhaps asking for an extra 36 points is a bit overzealous.
