Coach Talk

Iggles
You know what, Iggles, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Russell Gage), while still getting a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Butt Ruckers
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, Butt Ruckers. Going with Shawn Williams and Zeke Turner in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 147.48 points... let's just put this behind us and move on?
