Coach Talk

Moes Brew Crew
Hey, it's good to be confident, Moes Brew Crew. Deploying a starter with zero points (Todd Gurley II), while still getting a W... talk about arrogant. It's a bold way to conclude the season and the fantasy gods were definitely on your side this week!
INDY'S ISLAND
Tis the season, INDY'S ISLAND! We hope the GM of Moes Brew Crew will write a thank-you card for the generous 166-point gift this past week.
