Coach Talk

MONGO MIAMI MADNESS
Putting together a lineup that produced over 132 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 9 matchup.
BrEwErYtOwN HiTtAz
You can take our word for it, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans whine a bit, and the local beat writers get a bit nit-picky with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all. Keep pushing forward, BrEwErYtOwN HiTtAz!
