Coach Talk

Douglass Astros
Assembling a lineup that registered almost 139 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of CEE DEEZ NUTZ, and continue pushing forward to the Yahoo Public 105863 league championship.
CEE DEEZ NUTZ
Don't get too discouraged, CEE DEEZ NUTZ! Look, we've been at it long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to randomly appear out of nowhere. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; asking for an extra 14 points may be a little excessive.
