Coach Talk

The Shockers v2.0
Props on deploying a starting crew that netted nearly 120 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of 4th and Drunk, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the The League title.
4th and Drunk
Trust us, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans whine a bit, and the local beat writers get a bit testy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence any critics out there. Keep your chin up, 4th and Drunk!
