Coach Talk

Boondock Saints
You know what, Boondock Saints, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Chase Winovich), while still getting the W.
Fluffy Bunnies
Tis the season, Fluffy Bunnies! We hope the GM of Boondock Saints will pen a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
