Coach Talk

Alvin’s Team
Props to you, Alvin’s Team. Putting together a team that netted almost 141 points in Week 1. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of “Finding Deebo”, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
“Finding Deebo”
You can take our word for it, “Finding Deebo”... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
