Coach Talk

Sinister Sloths
Bravo on deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 100 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we step into our Week 16 matchup.
The Blaydon Racers
Fortunately, The Blaydon Racers, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Brett Maher in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 275.5 points... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again?
