Coach Talk

Need Moore Touchdown
Assembling a lineup that posted 132.74 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next challenge in Week 14.
Blue Skywalker
Take my word for it, Blue Skywalker... Coming from a coach who's constantly on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football 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 road!
