Coach Talk

Boss Hogg's Rangers
Hey, it's good to be confident, Boss Hogg's Rangers. It takes real gumption to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Olivier Vernon and Jonathan Allen), while still earning a W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Formidables
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Formidables. Going with Trey Burton in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
