Coach Talk

Mull of Kintyre
Hey, now that's what we're lookin' for! A completion percentage of 90% this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Drew Brees. The Redskins secondary didn't see it coming! In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of Mull of Kintyre has got to be thankful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Buck WIld
Trust us, Buck WIld... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
