Coach Talk

Black/White Noise
You know Black/White Noise, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 102.99 points through Week 6, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 80.6 we needed to win this past week!
Fantasy Manatee
Fortunately, Fantasy Manatee, this week's problem was fairly easy to spot. Going with the San Francisco 49ers defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 80.6 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
