Coach Talk

Jiri's Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Jiri's Team. Playing a starter with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
MILLER'S KILLERS
Well, MILLER'S KILLERS, Week 15's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with DeVante Parker in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up almost 102 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
