Coach Talk

Bitch Slappers
You know what, Bitch Slappers, we do respect the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Benardrick McKinney and Jerry Jeudy), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Joshua's Team
Fortunately, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify, Joshua's Team. Going with multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
