Coach Talk

radio
You know what, radio, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (the Indianapolis Colts defense), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Word
Fortunately, Word, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting Kamren Curl in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 456 points... let's consider this to be a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again.
