Coach Talk

I Shot Plaxico
Putting together a starting crew that recorded almost 196 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next challenge in Week 7.
Free Ballin’
Fortunately, Week 6's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Free Ballin’. Starting Mecole Hardman in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again.
