Coach Talk

zxz_alexandre
Nice work this past matchup, zxz_alexandre! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a stiff challenge in lawrence's Team.
Sonokawa
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy teams are created equal). Our 87 points weren't enough to get the win this week. Keep pushing forward, Sonokawa, for as the great Abraham Lincoln conveyed: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
