Coach Talk

Portland Pigchuckers
Kudos to you, Portland Pigchuckers. Assembling a starting crew that tallied 139.72 points in Week 1. We should tip our cap to the GM of Nelson E*'s Team, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards the Yahoo Public 1092494 league championship.
Nelson E*'s Team
Well, Nelson E*'s Team, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 139.72 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
