Coach Talk

Dirtballz14
Listen, Dirtballz14, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, and Dak Prescott), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Crimson Tide 🏈
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Crimson Tide 🏈. Choosing to start Brandon Aiyuk, Latavius Murray, and Patrick Mahomes in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
