Coach Talk

MrFantasy™
Good work, MrFantasy™. Props on fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by nearly 41 points this past week.
SHANE FALCO #16
Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points can just randomly appear out of the blue. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 41 points is a bit on the excessive side. Keep your head held high, SHANE FALCO #16!
