Coach Talk

8th
Listen 8th, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost 25 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 5 stood at 138.76. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Rougarou’s
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 always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
