Coach Talk

kyle's Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, kyle's Team. It takes a special kind of moxie to deploy a starter with negative points (the Cleveland Browns defense) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Worst Poker Game Evr
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Worst Poker Game Evr collectively registered only four targets this past week.
