Coach Talk

Firestorm
Putting together a lineup that posted nearly 148 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 4 matchup.
Cavemen
There's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around, Cavemen! Your upcoming opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Use it to your advantage and deploy the strongest possible starting lineups... catch those complacent managers off-guard!
