Coach Talk

Festering Scabs
Hey, we admire the confidence, Festering Scabs. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (the Green Bay Packers defense), while still getting a W! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Putin/Trump 2017
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot, Putin/Trump 2017. Starting Alec Ogletree in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
