Coach Talk

Mario's Team
Listen, Mario's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, not two, but FIVE starters with zero points while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
'T-N-T' Treat'§
Well, 'T-N-T' Treat'§, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
