Coach Talk
Comeback Kid
You know Comeback Kid, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 18 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 84.26. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
The Minor Prophets
Chin up, The Minor Prophets! You can take our word for it, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn chippy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
