Coach Talk

Morning Woodhead
We're wondering if the GM of Morning Woodhead was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 1.7 points, Graham Gano (2-of-3 on the day) thought that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've made things just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
Chill Pill
Even though we didn't earn the win this past week, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football awesomeness to be thankful for.
