Coach Talk

King Cobras
Nice job overcoming that two-game winless skid, King Cobras! Every fantasy GM is faced with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Slob on my Cobb
Listen, Slob on my Cobb, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an extra 12 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
