Coach Talk

C's Champion Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, C's Champion Team. Starting a player with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
M's Mind-Blowing Team
With just four receptions this past week, the starting running backs for M's Mind-Blowing Team clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
