Coach Talk

BOSTON BRAWLERS
Hey, we admire the confidence, BOSTON BRAWLERS. Deploying not one, not two, but SIX starters with zero points while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
Dominators
Fortunately, Dominators, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting the Denver Broncos defense, Breece Hall and Jalen Hurts in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again?
