Coach Talk

Mr. Dee Team
Listen, Mr. Dee Team, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a starter with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Grandpa's Destroyers
Producing three receptions on only four targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Grandpa's Destroyers clearly need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
