Coach Talk

Nick's Neat Team
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Rick's Team at the wide receiver position (29 points to 11).
Rick's Team
Take my word for it, Rick's Team... Coming from a coach who's lived life on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that gritty Graduate Assistant gig available at the community college down the road!
