Coach Talk
Lynx
Hey, we admire the confidence, Lynx. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jonathan Taylor), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Tee Hee Hee Higgins
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Tee Hee Hee Higgins. Going with Nick Folk in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied more than 149 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
