Coach Talk

The Rapscallions
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, The Rapscallions... our wide receivers were clearly outclassed by the opposition. Held back by Cole Beasley (six total yards, no TDs) and Tyler Boyd (26 yards, no TDs), our four WRs combined for just 16.7 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Valiant Stallions showed us up by recording a score of 45.
Valiant Stallions
You can take our word for it, Valiant Stallions... We've been in this industry 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 their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
