Coach Talk

STAIRWAY TO EVANS!
Kudos to you, STAIRWAY TO EVANS!. Deploying a team that won by over 61 points this past matchup.
Professor X
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Professor X. Going with Aaron Rodgers in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 152.7 points... we'll all move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
