Coach Talk

Sal’s Fruit Cups
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Sal’s Fruit Cups. It takes a certain kind of gumption to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Tyreek Hill and Robert Woods), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
The Sleepy Bananas
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 all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence any critics out there! Keep your chin up, The Sleepy Bananas!
