Coach Talk

Brock The Conqueror
Wow, Brock The Conqueror, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 27+ points, you also jumped up a staggering three spots in the league standings. Nice work!
The People’s Champ
With just five receptions this past week, the starting RBs for The People’s Champ clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it down more frequently.
