Coach Talk

Bitterness
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling LIONPWR at the wide receiver position (66.7 points to 22.35).
LIONPWR
Trust us, LIONPWR... We've been in this industry 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 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.
