Coach Talk
Fatback and Greens
You know what, Fatback and Greens, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting a W... talk about arrogant.
What?!
Fortunately, What?!, this week's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Starting George Kittle in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... we'll all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
