Coach Talk

Trophy Wife
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Blazin Blitzers at the wide receiver position (92 points to 43).
Blazin Blitzers
As we bid farewell to 2022, our coaching staff can reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just eight ups and eight downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
