Coach Talk

Galácticos Brrr
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating DoubleD3's 5B at the wide receiver position (37.6 points to 14.7).
DoubleD3's 5B
Well, DoubleD3's 5B, Week 16's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting the Denver Broncos defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again.
