Coach Talk

Bruce's Wonderful Team
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Bruce's Wonderful Team. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Nick Folk), while still getting a win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
riggs
As we say adios to 2022, let's look back on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just five ups and 11 downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
