Coach Talk

Canton Thugs
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Canton Thugs! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was thoroughly outclassed this past week. Justin Herbert went 22-of-38 for 236 yards and two touchdowns for 丘比特の箭, and all Tom Brady could manage through the air was 214 passing yards.
丘比特の箭
Happy holidays, 丘比特の箭! We hope the GM of Canton Thugs will write a thank-you card for the generous gift you let them have this past week.
