Coach Talk

todd's Team
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that netted more than 643 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Larry's Team, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
Larry's Team
You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a bit chippy with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all! Keep pushing forward, Larry's Team!
