Coach Talk

Troy's Boys
Good job deploying a starting crew that produced more than 166 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Sarah’s stars, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Sarah’s stars
Take my word for it, Sarah’s stars... Coming from a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
