Coach Talk

Larry's Team
Heckuva job overcoming that two-match winless streak, Larry's Team! Each fantasy GM is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Phillip's Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
