Coach Talk

Bruising Knights
Deploying a starting crew that won by more than 44 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Ram's Den, and continue the march towards a fantasy title.
Ram's Den
Don't get too down on yourself, Ram's Den! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that gritty Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road!
