Coach Talk

VJ WHO-DEY!
Listen, VJ WHO-DEY!, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of guts to roll out a starter with zero points (Tyler Higbee), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against TMT and see what happens.
ricky's Awesome Team
Trust us on this one, ricky's Awesome Team... 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. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
