Coach Talk

Deflated Expectation
Deploying a lineup that produced over 163 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of No YOU'RE the puppet, and continue our march towards the Defecto league championship.
No YOU'RE the puppet
Trust us on this one, No YOU'RE the puppet... We've been in this industry for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
