Why Couture Once Kicked Burns Out of Sharks’ Fantasy Football League
It was a good year for the San Jose Sharks’ fantasy football league … but not for commissioner Logan Couture.
He might be looking to make a change in his two-win squad’s room, beginning with his team name, “Bills Mafia.”
“I may have to change [that]. I missed the playoffs, consecutive years here. Three in a row, maybe. I gotta take a look in the mirror here pretty soon,” the Buffalo Bills super fan told San Jose Hockey Now on Friday. “It’s embarrassing. Or [should I] just stop being commissioner of the league? It doesn’t look good.”
If Couture steps down as commissioner, he leaves the San Jose Sharks’ locker room league in a good place, a long way away from the year that Brent Burns almost destroyed the league from the inside.
