Coach Talk
The Graveyard
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, The Graveyard. Starting a starter with negative points (Nick Folk) while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Scary Terry
Well, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot, Scary Terry. Going with the Denver Broncos defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
