Coach Talk

Joel's Father
You know what, Joel's Father, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (the Minnesota Vikings defense), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Hi_Hater
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Hi_Hater. Choosing to start Julio Jones in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume that something like this won't happen again.
