Coach Talk

No Luck
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Chubba Choo Choo at the wide receiver position (36.3 points to 16.7).
Chubba Choo Choo
You can take our word for it, Chubba Choo Choo... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
