Coach Talk

Matty Ice and Co.
Putting together a lineup that netted 136.48 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our next matchup in Week 9.
FantasyFootballTeam
Trust us on this one, FantasyFootballTeam... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
