Coach Talk

Al's Astounding Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, Al's Astounding Team. Our starting QB was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Russell Wilson went 31-of-35 for 322 yards and four touchdowns for Iso Rockets, and all Drew Brees could manage was an 18-for-30 day, with 160 yards and two passing TDs. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Iso Rockets
Trust us, Iso Rockets... We've been in this business for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
