Coach Talk

David's Dandy Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, David's Dandy Team. Deploying not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Toe Collector
Registering only two catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Toe Collector clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more often.
