Coach Talk

Emperor Pelicans
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Painster at the wide receiver position (21 points to 10).
Painster
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Painster. Choosing to start Brett Maher, Lamar Miller and Austin Hooper in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 61 points... let's all put this behind us and move on.
