Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
Kudos on assembling a lineup that tallied 112 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 7 matchup.
V for ...
Trust us on this one, V for ...... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
