Coach Talk

Str8CashHomey
Listen Str8CashHomey, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 32.55 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 30.42 we needed for this past week's win!
Joshua's Team
Well, Joshua's Team, Week 14's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied over 30 points... we'll all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
