Coach Talk

Glory Boyz
You know what, Glory Boyz, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (DeAndre Hopkins, Mark Ingram II, and Austin Hooper), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're toast.
C And K's Crazy Team
Trust us, C And K's Crazy Team... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
