Coach Talk

MONAT
You know MONAT, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 199.74 points through Week 7, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 187.1 we needed for this past week's win!
HTTR!
Trust us on this one, HTTR!... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
