Coach Talk

Philippians 4.13
Well done, Philippians 4.13. Fielding a lineup that registered 142 points in Week 1. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Miles High, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the 95th MP BN league title.
Miles High
There's a decent chance that Miles High might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just four total targets this past week, their two wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
