Coach Talk

Cocks
Assembling a lineup that won by nearly 35 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Redlegs, and continue our march towards the OklahomIraqis League AFC championship.
Redlegs
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Redlegs. Starting Odell Beckham Jr. in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 168.75 points... let's all just put this behind us and move on.
