Coach Talk

Redzone 2 Da Endzone
Bravo, Redzone 2 Da Endzone. Nice work deploying a lineup that posted 163.48 points this past week. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Dog House, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Fantasy Pro league championship.

Keep your head up, The Dog House! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that occasionally eight extra points can just instantly appear out of thin air... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
