Coach Talk

Dad Went For Cigs
Listen Dad Went For Cigs, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 126.75 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 97.16 we needed to win this past week!
Scott’s Tots
Hey, it's possible that Scott’s Tots might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 10 targets as a group this past week, their three wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
