Coach Talk

G-Men
Props to you, G-Men. Putting together a team that tallied nearly 173 points in Week 14... we'll take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of OLD DOG, and continue pushing forward to the KWFFantasy league championship.
OLD DOG
Just two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
