Coach Talk

Huss Monkeys
Nice work deploying a starting crew that won by more than 11 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into what might be a winnable matchup in Week 11.
Forty Whiner
Trust us on this one, Forty Whiner... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky 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 all the critics out there.
