Coach Talk

Jumpin' Bones
Listen, Jumpin' Bones, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real gumption to deploy a starter with negative points (Jordy Nelson) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Superman's Team
With three catches on only four targets this past week, the starting running backs for Superman's Team should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
