Coach Talk

Thunderstorm
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up Caribbean Bombers at running back this past week (32 points to 16).
Caribbean Bombers
Don't get too down on yourself, Caribbean Bombers! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn chippy with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
