Coach Talk

M.A.S.K.
Listen, M.A.S.K., we applaud you on the confidence. It takes true moxie to field a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
DILLI DILLY
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, DILLI DILLY. Choosing to start Dustin Hopkins in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again?
