Coach Talk

Rollin' with Mahomes
Yo, Rollin' with Mahomes, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by 35+ points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings!
The Commish
Listen, The Commish, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (*cough cough*, Week 3) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... hoping for an additional 36 points may be a bit overzealous.
