Coach Talk

CeeDee’s Nutz
You know CeeDee’s Nutz, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 101.42 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 87.98 we needed to win this past week!
Douglass Astros
Tis the season, Douglass Astros! We hope the GM of CeeDee’s Nutz will pen a thank-you card for the generous 85.68-point gift this past week.
