Coach Talk

FantasyFootballTeam
You know what, FantasyFootballTeam, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes real gumption to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Noah Fant and the Minnesota Vikings defense), while still earning a W. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Kittle Me This
Chin up, Kittle Me This! When the dust settles, only one team's ultimately gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for taking the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do emerge victorious, and start regrouping for next season!
