Coach Talk

Lamar&CalvinRunTrainOnYaMoms
Nice work assembling a lineup that registered nearly 130 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Mr. Much Beer, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Mr. Much Beer
Keep your head up, Mr. Much Beer! Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points can just magically appear out of thin air. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; asking for an additional 17 points may be a bit excessive.
