Coach Talk

lawrence's Team
A ton of activity between the 20's: The six starting offensive position players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on lawrence's Team combined to record a whopping 361 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
Trigger
Keep your head up, Trigger! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a little chippy with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
