Coach Talk

Curly Lambeau
Listen, Curly Lambeau, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance.
Viking Raiders
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 nine ups and six downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
