Coach Talk

Stoltz
Props to you, Stoltz. Nice work fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by over 32 points in Week 1. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Giants Run The East, and continue our march towards the Leatherheads league title.
Giants Run The East
Well, Giants Run The East, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Austin Edwards and Clayton Fejedelem in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
