Coach Talk

Naked Canadians
Nice work assembling a lineup that exceeded the century mark this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Football Giants
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Football Giants. Choosing to start Jonathan Williams in a tough fantasy matchup... let's consider this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
