Coach Talk

The Bonesmashers
Listen, The Bonesmashers, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Mushroom Capital
Well, Mushroom Capital, Week 2's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Donte Moncrief in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
