Coach Talk

The Riddler
Mission accomplished, The Riddler. Nice job fielding a lineup that won by 17.56 points this past matchup. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Choice Team, and continue marching forward to the Yahoo Public 86200 league title.
Choice Team
Logging only a pair of receptions on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Choice Team should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
