Coach Talk

Butler Jets
Way to shrug off that two-game losing skid, Butler Jets! Every fantasy GM is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
Naperville Pineapple
The good news is that there's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around. Your upcoming opponents may glance at the win-loss record and foolishly believe they have a cakewalk. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming! Keep pushing forward, Naperville Pineapple!
