Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, The Mad Scientist. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Marquise Brown), while still getting a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Fantastic Frinks
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for Fantastic Frinks collectively recorded one reception on just two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up some screen plays in Week 12!
