Coach Talk

Stars and Scrubs
You know Stars and Scrubs, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 21 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through seven weeks was 110.61. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!

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 Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the street!
