Coach Talk

Roylinc
Nice job shrugging off that six-game losing streak, Roylinc! Every fantasy GM is met with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and remember that this season is far from over.
milanese
Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that every once in a while, nine extra points will just magically appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen. Keep pushing forward, milanese!
