Coach Talk

Danny Boy
Way to shrug off that three-game losing skid, Danny Boy! Every fantasy GM is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Bad Juju
Sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. If fantasy football didn't present a real challenge then winning wouldn't be as awesome, you know? Keep your head held high, Bad Juju!
