Coach Talk

Show Me the Money
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Show Me the Money. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Zane Gonzalez), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
My wife's money
Well, My wife's money, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting Myles Gaskin in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
