Coach Talk

Believeland
Bravo, Believeland. Nice job assembling a lineup that registered 99.67 points in Week 13. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Muscle Hamsters, take this victory in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy championship.
Muscle Hamsters
Fortunately, Week 13's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Muscle Hamsters. Choosing to start the Tennessee Titans defense in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
