Coach Talk

No Mercy
You know what, No Mercy, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Eric Kendricks), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant.
Pack Rats
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 bit whiny, and the local beat writers turn testy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all! Keep your head up, Pack Rats!
