Coach Talk

Groin Strain
You know what, Groin Strain, we do respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Christian Wilkins and Foye Oluokun), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
PimpinAintBrees-y
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, PimpinAintBrees-y. Choosing to start Isaiah McKenzie in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
