Coach Talk

Wolf of Wall Street
Deploying a lineup that accounted for more than 180 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Beetle's Minions, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Beetle's Minions
Listen, Beetle's Minions, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 48 points might be a bit excessive.
