Coach Talk

Cabs wet dream team
Who really cares if your team ultimately dropped down from third place to fourth this past week... the big take-away here is that you earned the W. Stay laser-focused week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
Cleveland Steamers
Keep your chin up, Cleveland Steamers! Listen, I've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Okay, okay... maybe asking for an additional dozen points is a little excessive.
