Coach Talk

Drill'erThen-Spiller
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed flawlessly. And the final result? A whopping 29 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for a 97 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. That Colts secondary didn't see it coming!.
Blunts and Forte's
Trust us on this one, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a bit whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all. Keep your head up, Blunts and Forte's!
