Coach Talk

Professor Football
You know what, Professor Football, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jerry Jeudy), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
#Injured Reserve
Tis the season, #Injured Reserve! We hope the GM of Professor Football will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
