Coach Talk

Ben's Boss Team
Whoa now Ben's Boss Team, that's what we love to see! A completion percentage of 97 percent this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Drew Brees. The Colts defense didn't see it coming! We know the manager of Ben's Boss Team is grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
Hiawatha Super Domes
Trust me on this one (since I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the street!
