Coach Talk

Buzzsaw
Hey, we admire the confidence, Buzzsaw. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Green Bay Packers defense), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
GOIN DEEP 7
Tis the season, GOIN DEEP 7! We hope the GM of Buzzsaw will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
