Coach Talk

MrAwesome'sMoMo's
Nice job assembling a lineup that produced 218.7 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Lone Hater, take this W in stride, and continue marching forward to the FANTASY FB 2022 (MOE STYLE) league title.
The Lone Hater
Trust us on this one, The Lone Hater... 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 interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
