Coach Talk

Grounds Game Keeper
Mission accomplished, Grounds Game Keeper. Nice job deploying a team that blew the opposition out by a whopping 38.54 points in Week 14. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 15.
Mr. Sparkle
Fortunately, Mr. Sparkle, Week 14's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Matthew Wright in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
