Coach Talk

Magnolia Boys
Assembling a starting crew that won by over 22 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of robert's Team, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the Texoma s Best league championship.
robert's Team
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, robert's Team. Starting Cam Newton in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied almost 91 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
