Coach Talk

High Fives
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A staggering 22 connections on 27 attempts... good enough for a 81 percent completion percentage for Philip Rivers this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't see it coming!.
Hrustin Cowboys
Chin up, Hrustin Cowboys! Trust us on this one, 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 distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all
