Coach Talk

The RC Padres
Well The RC Padres, the good news is that we took this matchup by 4.5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through five weeks was 136.57. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Texas Headhunter
Trust me (since I'm a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local high school down the street!
