Coach Talk

Blitzburgh
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Long Island Steelers at the wide receiver position (41.8 points to 18.3).
Long Island Steelers
Listen, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes free points can just magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright... perhaps asking for an extra 21 points is a bit much. Keep your head up, Long Island Steelers!
