Coach Talk

chad's Swell Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, chad's Swell Team. It takes a special kind of moxie to start a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Jason's Team
You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get fickle, and your local beat writers get a bit nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all. Keep pushing forward, Jason's Team!
