Coach Talk

Assimilate THIS
Nice job deploying a lineup that registered 126 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Drones
As we say adios to 2022, our coaching staff can look back 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... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
