Coach Talk

Coco The Monkey
Deploying a starting crew that won by over 30 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Paul's Team
As we say goodbye to 2021, let's reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just nine ups and seven downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2022!
