Coach Talk

Hard Targets
You know what, Hard Targets, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Devin Funchess), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
DARC NARC
Hey, DARC NARC... Sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. You know... if fantasy football didn't offer a true challenge, then winning wouldn't be as awesome, right??
