Coach Talk

Honolulu Tigers
Nice job assembling a lineup that netted over 127 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Rebellion
The problem in Week 16 isn't exactly rocket science, Rebellion. Choosing to start Gerald Everett in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 127 points... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
