Coach Talk

Longboat Key Coolies
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Longboat Key Coolies. Starting a player with negative points (Cody Parkey) while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Avechuchos
Well, Avechuchos, Week 16's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start the New Orleans Saints defense and Cam Newton in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 2,862 points... let's all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
