Coach Talk

FromTEtoWR
Listen, FromTEtoWR, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Julio Jones and Rex Burkhead), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
Feeling sheepish
Trust us on this one, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn chippy with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all! Keep pushing forward, Feeling sheepish!
