Coach Talk

Brian's Team
Mission accomplished, Brian's Team. Nice job fielding a team that won by 13.78 points in Week 1. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of The Air Raid, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
The Air Raid
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that occasionally, free points just seem to randomly appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, okay; perhaps asking for an additional 14 points is a bit on the excessive side. Keep pushing forward, The Air Raid!
