Coach Talk

Homer
Hey Homer, the good news is that we took this matchup by 5 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 9 stood at 104.44. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Fools and Horses
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy teams are created equal). Our 87-point showing wasn't enough to get the win this week. Keep pushing forward, Fools and Horses, for as the great Abraham Lincoln once said: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
