Coach Talk

Slim Pickens
Deploying a lineup that won by over 69 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Spokane Sith, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards the Fantasy Pro league title.
Spokane Sith
With just a pair of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Spokane Sith obviously should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
