Coach Talk

Fireflys
Listen, Fireflys, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Marquise Brown), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is 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?
Raiders's Rad Team
Even though we didn't earn the win this past week, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football goodness to be thankful for.
