Coach Talk

Slim Pickens
Props to you, Slim Pickens. Putting together a lineup that exceeded the century mark this past week.
Yor-IDL's Team
With a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Yor-IDL's Team clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
