Coach Talk

Ravens
Good job deploying a lineup that netted over 135 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of High Fives, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
High Fives
Keep your chin up, High Fives! You can feel good knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Ravens succeed this week... and maybe one day, they can return the favor and do you a solid.
