Coach Talk

Poooooooooooooooooop
You know Poooooooooooooooooop, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 123.76 points through Week 14, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 97.12 we needed for this past week's win!
Ducks Fly Together
Fortunately, Ducks Fly Together, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Starting Spencer Ware in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's use this as a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again.
