Coach Talk

Sierra Nevada Giants
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Brett Maher just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
The Flying Wedgies
Well, Week 13's problem isn't exactly rocket science, The Flying Wedgies. Going with Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 131.5 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
