Coach Talk

Bugs bunny
You know what, Bugs bunny, we do admire the confidence. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (James White), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Volcano Man and see what happens.
Cardinals Polska
You can take our word for it, Cardinals Polska... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
