Coach Talk

Slower Clap
Way to shrug off that three-game losing streak, Slower Clap! Each fantasy team is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep chipping away and good things will continue to happen.
Alouiscious
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Slower Clap succeed... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head held high, Alouiscious!
