Coach Talk

FreshPrinceOfHelaire
Yo, FreshPrinceOfHelaire, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Along with a 26.48-point victory, you also jumped up from ninth place to seventh in the league standings!
Liberation Silver
Trust us, Liberation Silver... 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 columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
