Coach Talk

Tebowculosis
Well done, Tebowculosis. Putting together a lineup that earned over 113 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of The Name Droppers, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
The Name Droppers
Registering a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for The Name Droppers should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
