Coach Talk

Randy Macho Man Savage
Bravo, Randy Macho Man Savage. Nice job deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 53 points this past matchup.
Dusty Rhodes
Dusty Rhodes will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our two wide receivers collectively saw a respectable 14 targets in Week 16. With just four total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
