Coach Talk

I Heart Chiavettas
Listen, I Heart Chiavettas, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense) while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Gridiron Gladiators
Fortunately, Week 14's problem is pretty easy to spot, Gridiron Gladiators. Starting the Tennessee Titans defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up nearly 117 points... let's attempt to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
