Coach Talk

Laying the Smackdown
Listen, Laying the Smackdown, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Nelson Agholor), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're toast.
North Dallas Forty
Trust us, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a bit whiny, and the 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, North Dallas Forty!
