Coach Talk

DREAMCHASEGAMING
Bravo, DREAMCHASEGAMING. Fielding a starting crew that earned 190.52 points in Week 1. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Jedi Council, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards the Football guys keeper league championship.
The Jedi Council
Coming from someone who's lived life on the hot seat, let me assure you: if this whole "fantasy football coach" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching job available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
