Coach Talk

RIO TOKYO
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, RIO TOKYO. Our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Kene Nwangwu (zero yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 6 points in Week 9, while the starting backfield for Sad Sacks showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 34. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 10!
Sad Sacks
Hey, it's possible that Sad Sacks would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 20 targets as a group this past week, their seven wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
