Coach Talk

Bucco Bruce
Listen, Bucco Bruce, we do appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Amari Cooper, Michael Pittman Jr., and the Green Bay Packers defense), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Dolphin Mania
Tis the season, Dolphin Mania! We hope the GM of Bucco Bruce will pen a thank-you card for the generous 55-point gift this past week.
