Coach Talk

Starship Sentinels
Nice job overcoming that six-game losing streak, Starship Sentinels! Every fantasy GM will surely be presented with adversity somewhere along the way... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Lone Star
Colt McCoy tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of display.
