Coach Talk

Glendale Chargers
Good work, Glendale Chargers. Kudos on deploying a lineup that tallied more than 180 points this past week. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Bye Week, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Bye Week
Don't get too discouraged, Bye Week! You can feel good knowing that your kindness didn't go unnoticed. It was generous of you to help someone like Glendale Chargers succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by going Defense-Kicker in the first two rounds of next year's draft (...something like that).
