Coach Talk

2inDaPINK 1inDaStink
Listen, 2inDaPINK 1inDaStink, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes guts to field a player with negative points (plus multiple zero-point players) 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 postseason and we're toast.
Cake
Well, Week 2's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Cake. Starting Elandon Roberts and Nick Foles in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 221 points... let's consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again.
