Coach Talk

Goldfinger Slingers
You know Goldfinger Slingers, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 460.78 points through Week 13, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 420.09 we needed to win this past week!
Black Knight
Well, Black Knight, Week 14's problem is pretty easy to identify. Starting Jakobi Meyers in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 420 points... let's consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
