Coach Talk

Mile High Bronchos
Deploying a starting crew that won by 15.7 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into our Week 6 matchup.
Matty Ice and Co.
Keep your head up, Matty Ice and Co.! You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
