Coach Talk

Los Bastardos
Nice job, Los Bastardos. Assembling a lineup that registered more than 205 points in Week 3. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Chiefs Fan, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Chiefs Fan
Keep your head held high, Chiefs Fan! The good news is that there's still a boatload of football left to be played. Your upcoming opponents could look at the win-loss record and foolishly believe they've got a cakewalk. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
