Coach Talk

The Equalizer*
Bravo, The Equalizer*. Nice job assembling a lineup that tallied more than 111 points this past week. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 5 matchup.
Adrian Beterson
Keep your chin up, Adrian Beterson! There's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may look at your record and foolishly think they've got a cakewalk. Use that to your advantage and deploy the strongest possible starting lineups... catch those complacent GMs off-guard!
