Coach Talk

Kittle Litter
Props on deploying a lineup that recorded 200.64 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Steel City Rocker
Trust us on this one, Steel City Rocker... 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 interview questions. 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!
