Coach Talk

Gurles Gone Wild
Yo, Gurles Gone Wild, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 30 points, you also jumped up from third place to first in the league standings!
4networkTechnicAllen
Well, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot, 4networkTechnicAllen. Choosing to start O.J. Howard in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 115 points... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
