Hi Greg,

I know we've talked about this on the boards and it was in the hands of STATS. Any updates? Thanks

Watch out RSN, you don't want to be grouped with me as a 'ideas' guy. Chest will never let you hear the end of it...

Dang it I swore I was going to be nicer on these boards this season. Ok I get a mulligan for you and less than Dave no one else though. Oh yeah reserve one for Rockit Sauce I could see that one going bad.

RSN Nothing new to report. They told me this would be done for this season, so let's see what next week brings. I'll ask them as soon as they have the rosters inputted.

Could you look at chicago league 4 you can see the home page but when you try to see rosters or set line up it comes up with an error message.

Here's the latest on the free agent enhancements from STATS as they are working on this to make bidding easier for owners who have multiple NFBC teams:

"We are still testing the new free agent bidding page. It's a huge change to the code on the back end and the last thing we want to do is change that page and have it not work during the first week. Hopefully testing continues to go well and we should be able to make it available in early April."

Thanks for your patience on this and look for a new version soon.

Thank God! The new functionality has to be an improvement.

If for some reason The Cross Country Mack were to finish first overall and claim the $100K grand prize, I think the actual payoff would be about $2.76 per hour spent on manipulating that freakin waiver system.

(I am still bitter at the "user error" that preventing us from claiming Ryan Braun for two straight weeks last year...)

The free agent process is still the same old bull **** , 10 clicks of the goddamn mouse when it should take one. hope to god we dont have to put up with this bullshit all goddamn year. will take about 15 fouking hours every damn week to try and improve teams. need to get out of the dark ages and improve this bullshit.
