Coach Talk

Aaron's Team
Deploying a starting crew that posted more than 137 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Archey Dad
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Archey Dad! Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to magically appear out of the blue. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay... it really would've required some extreme wizardry to find an additional 39 points for you in this matchup.
