Coach Talk

DavBre Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, DavBre Team. Fielding a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Grand Yellow Jackets
Keep your chin up, Grand Yellow Jackets! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just randomly appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... finding an extra 19 points for you in this matchup really would've taken some extreme wizardry.
