Coach Talk

The NF Kissiefacers
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, The NF Kissiefacers. It takes a certain kind of gumption to play a starter with zero points (Aldrick Rosas), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens!
mike's Dandy Team
Don't get too down on yourself, mike's Dandy Team! You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn testy with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
