Coach Talk

Los Bastardos
You know what, Los Bastardos, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Pat Freiermuth), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant.
Forty Whiner
Happy holidays, Forty Whiner! We hope the GM of Los Bastardos will send a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
