In another thread the subject of coachspeak came up. basically, coachspeak is lying or at least being evasive when it comes to the truth! During the fantasy football season we suffer from the slings and arrows of coachspeak every week. Mostly it comes about in the form of lying or being evasive about injuries. The coach will pretend that he doesn't know if a star player is going to play this week even though he definitely knows that the star player will play. A lie he tells in order to try and confuse the opposing team have a negative effect on their game plan preparations. Also, it sometimes comes in the form of announcing a change in the game plan. something like like our backup running back Jerrious Norwood is going to get a lot of carries this week. So as a result we drag Norwood off of the bench and play him during a tough bye week only to have him get three touches in the game. The injury evasive coachspeak has us hunched over our computers 15 minutes before game time waiting to see if our players are going to play and hoping our Internet connection doesn't burp before we can make the changes. Fortunately, we have fantasy football communities like Sports Outlaw where we all band together and share our last-minute Intel in order to get our lineups correctly set. We huddle together in fantasy football unity, sharing and spreading the word from every pregame show across the nation. All this in order to ensure that the fickle fantasy football gods don't do their worst to us and our fantasy football fortunes.
