Coach Talk

Bad Company $
Nice job overcoming that two-match winless streak, Bad Company $! Each fantasy team is presented with adversity at some point or another... keep chipping away and remember that this season is far from over.
Kyle 125$
Don't get too down on yourself, Kyle 125$! There's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. The next few opponents could take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Do what and James Robinson would in this situation and keep pounding away... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
