Coach Talk

Road Warriors
Whoa, Road Warriors, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by 15.55 points, you also jumped up from 11th place to ninth in the league standings!
Matt's Team
You can take our word for it, Matt's Team... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
