Coach Talk

KCJ58
Nice work deploying a starting crew that tallied more than 159 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of When Harry Met Sony, and continue on our way towards the FTS Dynasty league title.
When Harry Met Sony
With only two catches on four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for When Harry Met Sony should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
