Coach Talk

Tom's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Tom's Team. It takes a special kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (Jack Doyle), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
OBJYN
We'd suggest that you use this last week as a learning opportunity and try to improve next week, OBJYN. Take a gander at what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are preaching and configure the strongest lineup possible in Week 5.
