Coach Talk

Mutinous Apes
Only three field goals on five attempts? It's quite possible that Greg Zuerlein just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
War Pony
Trust us, War Pony... 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 distasteful columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
