Coach Talk

Howie's Hoodlums
Nice job, Howie's Hoodlums. Deploying a starting crew that earned 104.64 points this past matchup.
Fantasy Professor
Look, Fantasy Professor, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes eight extra points will just miraculously appear out of thin air... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
