Coach Talk

Warriors of Angels
Putting together a starting crew that netted 132 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Thunderstorm
As we say adios to 2021, our coaching staff can reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just six ups and 10 downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2022!
