Coach Talk

4th Down Syndrome
Nice job, 4th Down Syndrome. Bravo on deploying a lineup that earned 137.68 points this past matchup. We'll tip our cap to the GM of Sam's Super Team, take this victory in stride, and continue marching forward to the Yahoo Public 77021 league title.
Sam's Super Team
Sam's Super Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our two wide receivers collectively got a healthy 12 targets in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched just seven catches.
