Coach Talk

Blunts and Forte's
Mission accomplished, Blunts and Forte's. Good work fielding a starting crew that posted more than 168 points this past week. We should tip our cap to the GM of 4X Champion, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the The League championship.
4X Champion
With just two receptions this past week, the starting RBs for 4X Champion obviously should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
