Coach Talk

The Boondock Saints
You know what, The Boondock Saints, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a player with zero points (Sterling Shepard), while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against FBOMBERS and see what happens!
Tru-Action All Stars
You can take our word for it, Tru-Action All Stars... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful columns in the paper. 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!
