Coach Talk

Joshua's Team
Putting together a starting crew that accounted for almost 38 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Bitch Slappers, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Bitch Slappers
Yo, Bitch Slappers, what did your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just 11 total targets in Week 8, our three wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
