Coach Talk

Fat Samurai
Nice job overcoming that three-match losing skid, Fat Samurai! Each fantasy GM is hit with adversity at some point or another... keep at it and good things will continue to happen.
Raider4life
Chin up, Raider4life! Listen, we've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, six extra points can just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
