Coach Talk

KING BALLSWIN
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, KING BALLSWIN. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with zero points (Kenny Vaccaro), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're finished.
Flag on The Play
Even though we weren't able to get the win in Week 11, let's remember to give thanks for the bounty of awesomeness that is fantasy football.
