Coach Talk

Tua the Rescue
Bravo, Tua the Rescue. Good work deploying a starting crew that registered 87.52 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Pussifer, take this victory in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
Pussifer
With literally zero passes thrown their way this past week the starting RBs for Pussifer should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
