Coach Talk

bladen's Unreal Team
Listen, bladen's Unreal Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Ryan Kerrigan, James Conner, and Akiem Hicks), while still getting the W. Try those shenanigans next week against BELMONT NINERS and see what happens!
Hancocks Beast
Fortunately, Hancocks Beast, Week 12's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's consider this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
