Coach Talk

Headatitis
Way to shrug off that three-game losing streak, Headatitis! Every fantasy GM is sure to be met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and take things one week at a time.
Hendrix Purple Haze
You can feel good knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Hendrix Purple Haze. It takes a true winner to help someone like Headatitis succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
