Coach Talk

Scott’s Tots
Wow, the Colts secondary didn't see it coming! 29 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Scott’s Tots is grateful for this type of attention to detail.
The Thunderguns
Well, The Thunderguns, Week 15's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Rams defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's deem this to be an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again?
