Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Putting together a lineup that accounted for more than 33 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of bladen's Unreal Team, take this W in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
bladen's Unreal Team
Producing only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for bladen's Unreal Team should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
