Coach Talk

Out for Blood
I just can't overstate how critical tight victories like this can be for locker room chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... expect Out for Blood to carry some positive momentum into Week 4.
Evil Clowns
Take my word for it, Evil Clowns... Coming from a coach who's lived life on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that gritty Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the street!
