Coach Talk

Sprint Right Option
Putting together a lineup that won by over 31 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of TwoBrownsOneKupp, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards the Punks n Drunks league title.
TwoBrownsOneKupp
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, TwoBrownsOneKupp. Choosing to start the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again.
