Coach Talk

Phantom X
Props to you, Phantom X. Deploying a team that tallied 249 points in Week 13. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 14 matchup.
Texas Rattlers
Trust me on this one, Texas Rattlers... Coming from a coach who's constantly on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching gig available at the local high school down the street!
