Coach Talk

Bad JuJu
Hey, it's good to be confident, Bad JuJu. Starting a player with zero points (the Cleveland Browns defense), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Funkdified
Well, Funkdified, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Going with the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
