Coach Talk

MOBSQUAD
Deploying a starting crew that won by 32.5 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Fania's Team, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards the Chi2la league championship.
Fania's Team
Well, Fania's Team, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Zack Baun in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 271.7 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
