727
Don't get too discouraged, 727! Trust us on this one, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little chippy with distasteful columns. 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.
