Coach Talk

The Boss
Putting together a starting crew that produced 138.48 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Joe Brrr, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Joe Brrr
Look, Joe Brrr, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes six extra points will just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing here is that you tried.
