Coach Talk

Calamari Cooper
Props to you, Calamari Cooper. Fielding a team that earned over 109 points this past matchup. We should take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Jamie's Perfect Team, and continue the march towards the Yahoo Public 887913 league title.
Jamie's Perfect Team
Look, Jamie's Perfect Team, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes (ahem, Week 8) they don't! Hmmm, alright... hoping for an additional 11 points may be a bit excessive.
