Coach Talk

The Hair Diapers
I just cannot overstate how critical tight victories like this can be for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, and succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the The Hair Diapers team chemistry to be stronger than ever entering Week 16.
christopher's Team
Well, christopher's Team, Week 15's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Michael Thomas in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
