Coach Talk

Oklahoma Outlaws
Good job assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 91.52 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Houston Gamblers, and continue on our way towards the UNITED STATES FOOTBALL LEAGUE title.
Houston Gamblers
Fortunately, Houston Gamblers, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Going with Evan McPherson and Jay Tufele in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 276 points... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
