Coach Talk

ShoNuff
Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by more than 43 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 2.
Abdullah Akbar
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you: if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local high school down the street!
