Coach Talk

Thunderstorm
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Sledgehammers at the wide receiver position (75 points to 18).
Sledgehammers
Trust us on this one, Sledgehammers... We've been in this business 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 distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
