Coach Talk

Jordan's Team
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by over 45 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of My Ball Zach Ertz, and continue our march towards the PFFL league title.
My Ball Zach Ertz
You can take our word for it, My Ball Zach Ertz... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
