Coach Talk

Unicorns&Showponies
Props to you, Unicorns&Showponies. Nice work assembling a lineup that blew the competition out by almost 40 points this past matchup. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Red Zone Raiders, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Red Zone Raiders
Don't get too distraught, Red Zone Raiders! Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Unicorns&Showponies succeed... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by going Kicker-Defense in the first two rounds of the 2021 draft (...something along those lines).
