Coach Talk

Wayward Lion
Whoa, now that's what we love to see! A completion percentage of 81 percent for Daniel Jones this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Commanders defense didn't stand a chance! We know the GM of Wayward Lion has got to be grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
Garkotłuki
You can take our word for it, Garkotłuki... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
