Coach Talk

Chubby chasers
Putting together a starting crew that recorded more than 162 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 9.
Lannister
There's still a lot of football left to be played, Lannister! The next few opponents may take a peek at the win-loss record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Use that to your advantage and deploy your best possible starting lineups... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
