Coach Talk

Black/White Noise
Nice work, Black/White Noise. Putting together a team that earned 97.47 points in Week 3. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Balls Deep, take this W in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Balls Deep
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
