Coach Talk

C.W.'s BlitzBarons
Hey, it's good to be confident, C.W.'s BlitzBarons. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Chris Olave), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
The 72 No Names
As we bid farewell 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 eight ups and eight downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
