Coach Talk

Puremichigan
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. In addition to doubling up First and Ken at RB (70.1 points to 34.8), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (49.2 to 18.2).
First and Ken
You can take our word for it, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get a bit 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 any critics out there! Keep your head up, First and Ken!
