Coach Talk

The Whiskey Kid
You know what, The Whiskey Kid, we do respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Derrick Brown and Marshon Lattimore), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Crown Royal
Fortunately, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Crown Royal. Starting Kenny Vaccaro and Ed Oliver in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
