Coach Talk

Michael Scott
Kudos to you, Michael Scott. Assembling a team that netted 193.62 points this past week.
Red Storm
Fortunately, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify, Red Storm. Choosing to start Justin Tucker and the Denver Broncos defense, and Rondale Moore in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 193.62 points... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
