Coach Talk

Purple Cobras
Listen, Purple Cobras, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (the New England Patriots defense), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Packer backers
Even though we didn't get a victory this past week, let's remember to be thankful for the bounty of goodness that is fantasy football.
