Coach Talk

Panzerleader
Mission accomplished, Panzerleader. Putting together a lineup that won by more than 37 points this past matchup.
AngryBirdman
Don't get too discouraged, AngryBirdman! You can take our word for it, we've been in this business for quite 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 columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
