Coach Talk

WinterbothamWankers
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by thoroughly outplaying Steel City Psychos at running back this past week (69.65 points to 11.05).
Steel City Psychos
You can feel good knowing that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, Steel City Psychos. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like WinterbothamWankers succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something like that!
