Coach Talk

Streamwood Steamers
Narrow wins like this can be very important for the locker room. Persevering through obstacles and triumphing in the face of adversity... expect the Streamwood Steamers team chemistry to be sky-high entering Week 4.
Springfield Atoms
The problem in Week 3 was pretty easy to diagnose, Springfield Atoms. Choosing to start Calvin Ridley and the Denver Broncos defense in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... we'll all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
