Coach Talk

SteelerHater57
Whoa now SteelerHater57, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan can do for ya! A staggering 31 completions on 35 attempts for Russell Wilson this past week. Quality plus quantity! That Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of SteelerHater57 has got to be thankful for that precision and attention to detail.
'T-N-T' Treat'§
Fortunately, 'T-N-T' Treat'§, Week 1's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 26 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
