Coach Talk

Jason's Optimal Team
Kudos to you, Jason's Optimal Team. Good work fielding a starting crew that posted more than 133 points this past week. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Zacharoni & Cheese, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy championship.
Zacharoni & Cheese
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Ben Roethlisberger against the Patriots this week. Zero wins and one loss for Zacharoni & Cheese on the 2019 season. Usually I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep badgering me, saying that this is the kind of "correlation" we'd like to avoid.
