Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Roughnecks. It takes a special kind of moxie to roll out a starter with negative points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense) while still getting a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Arrogant Americans
Keep your chin up, Arrogant Americans! I mean, just think big-picture here: only one manager's actually gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for taking the classy route, gracefully applauding those who do emerge victorious, and start re-strategizing for next season!
