Coach Talk

Iz Čikaga moji...
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs outgained the RBs of Desert Eagles, 189 total yards to 136, and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 26 points to 11.
Desert Eagles
When it's all said and done, only one team is ultimately gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for taking the classy route, gracefully applauding those who do emerge victorious, and start regrouping for next season! Keep pushing forward, Desert Eagles!
