Coach Talk

Bad Ilaj
Way to shrug off that two-match winless streak, Bad Ilaj! Every fantasy GM is sure to be met with adversity at some point or another... keep pushing forward and remember that this season is far from over.
Do Your Job
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you: if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road!
