Coach Talk

Springfield Atoms
Listen, Springfield Atoms, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Justin Tucker), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Hood Court Hooligans
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy teams are created equal). Our 87 points weren't enough to get the win this week. Continue pushing forward, Hood Court Hooligans, for as Honest Abe conveyed: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
