Coach Talk

Bielany Orthalions
Props to you, Bielany Orthalions. Nice work deploying a team that tallied 133.7 points this past week. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Rookie, and continue on our way towards the Mistrzostwa Polski - Liga E league championship.
Rookie
Wait, is fantasy football point-shaving a thing? Was Kirk Cousins facing himself in a fantasy matchup this past week? Did he choose to start the Colts D/ST this week? With 11 completions on 26 attempts, we've got some suspicions here.
