Coach Talk

Gators 🐊🐊🐊🐊
You know what, Gators 🐊🐊🐊🐊, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Marquise Brown), while still getting a W. Try those shenanigans next week against GULLY and we'll be toast!
The Punisher
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy squads are created equal). Our 87-point output wasn't enough to get the win this week. Keep pushing forward, The Punisher, for as Honest Abe once said: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
