Coach Talk

Osaka Blues
Listen, Osaka Blues, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Michael Badgley), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Centreviews
Don't get too distraught, Centreviews! Trust us, we've been in this industry for quite 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 columns. 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.
