THOMAS's Terrific Team
Trust us, THOMAS's Terrific Team... We've been in this business 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 interview 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!
