Coach Talk

ROCK CHALK
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, ROCK CHALK. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Robert Quinn and Derek Stingley Jr.), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant.
The Hagmonsters
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 12 ups and four downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
