Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
You know what, Desert Eagles, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Tre'Quan Smith), while still getting the W. 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?
Keeper Reapers
Don't get too down on yourself, Keeper Reapers! Look, we've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay... finding an extra 43 points for you this past matchup really would've taken some serious wizardry.
