Coach Talk

Brady’s Deflated Balls
You know Brady’s Deflated Balls, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 132.96 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 104.26 we needed for this past week's win!
Dennis's Whoops Team
Posting a couple of catches on just three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Dennis's Whoops Team should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
