Coach Talk

Greenbay Ballers
Kudos to you, Greenbay Ballers. Good work fielding a team that posted more than 208 points this past week. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Lions vs Refs, and continue the march towards the Colorado Keeper League title.
Lions vs Refs
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Lions vs Refs should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
