Coach Talk

Dongers
Whoa, Dongers, have you been practicing any gymnastics recently? In addition to a nearly 22-point victory, you also vaulted over four other teams to second place in the league standings!
RIP Dem Boyz
Trust us on this one, RIP Dem Boyz... We've been in this industry 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 distasteful columns in the paper. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
