Coach Talk

Rusty Curtain
Nice job, Rusty Curtain. Fielding a starting crew that tallied 124.78 points this past week.
Furious Pain
Trust us, Furious Pain... We've been in this business for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
