Coach Talk

Nikšica
Listen Nikšica, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 96.18 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 74 we needed to win this past week!
Državniposo
Even though we didn't get the win in Week 12, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football awesomeness to be thankful for.
