Coach Talk
The Tightest Ends
Good work assembling a starting crew that won by a staggering 20.46 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Action Jackson, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Action Jackson
