Coach Talk

Action Jackson
It just cannot be overstated how important close wins like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Action Jackson locker room to really gel riding into Week 16.
The Adams' Family
Tis the season, The Adams' Family! We hope the GM of Action Jackson will write a thank-you card for the gift of a fantasy football victory this past week.
