Coach Talk

HanginwithHernandez
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, HanginwithHernandez. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alec Ogletree), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Exotic Smashmouth
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Exotic Smashmouth. Going with Kiko Alonso in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 262.66 points... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
