Coach Talk

Bradylicious
Listen, Bradylicious, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Nick O'Leary), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
New Guy In Town
Look, New Guy In Town, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to miraculously appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 15) they don't! Hmmm, okay... hoping for an additional 84 points may be a little excessive.
