Coach Talk

Assimilate THIS
Kudos to you, Assimilate THIS. Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by 13 points in Week 14. We should tip our cap to the GM of Well Oiled Machine, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy championship.
Well Oiled Machine
Look, Well Oiled Machine, I've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (ahem, Week 14) they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an additional 14 points is a little much.
