Coach Talk

xdogg
Hey, we do respect the confidence this past week, xdogg. Deploying a starter with zero points (Brett Maher), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week and we're sure to be toast.
Final Dez-tination
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 16, right? The eight offensive position starters on Final Dez-tination (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to register 492 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. The skill players on xdogg made it tough on us by logging 799 yards and five scores.
