Coach Talk

The Name Droppers
Nice job shrugging off that four-match winless skid, The Name Droppers! Every fantasy team is sure to be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Little Girls
Listen, we've been at it long enough to know that sometimes seven extra points will just instantly appear out of the blue... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your head held high, Little Girls!
