Coach Talk

Quonderful
Well done, Quonderful. Nice job assembling a team that won by 36.56 points this past matchup.
Cooking with Defense
With two receptions on only three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Cooking with Defense clearly need to investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
