Coach Talk

BoilerDown
You know what, BoilerDown, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against 神出鬼没小涛涛 and see what happens.
再见三振
Even though we didn't get a victory in Week 12, let's remember that we still have a bounty of fantasy football awesomeness to be thankful for.
