Coach Talk

Wyzzardd
Listen, Wyzzardd, we applaud you on the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Force Majeure
Well, Force Majeure, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot. Starting Mykal Walker in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
