Coach Talk

THE LITTLE GUYS
You know what, THE LITTLE GUYS, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (George Kittle), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Gridiron Greats Return
Trust me on this one, Gridiron Greats Return... Seeing as I'm a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching job available at the local high school down the street!
