Coach Talk

Diddy
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We not only doubled up eric's Team at QB (37.02 points to 18.32), we also almost tripled them at WR (43.8 to 15.2).
eric's Team
Happy holidays, eric's Team! We hope the GM of Diddy will pen a thank-you card for the generous 88.92-point gift this past week.
