Mike Minor

I really hope there are nice incentives to join next year. Absolutely the worst season I've been a part of. The list of problems this season is getting to an absurd level. August is starting to look like April with all the recent issues.

How was Mike Minor picked up in Vegas league 2? I checked the transaction log and didn't see him dropped at any point this year so I assume he wasn't drafted. On top of all that he shows up as a MI on the transaction free agent pick up log for that league.

God Our Team Sucks! Waiver Pickup Mike Minor MI 8/08/2010 8:02 PM ET just saw this. owner got him for $23. and Minor was NOT drafted in this league. how the hell was he available???

This is so frustrating. 3 weeks in a row we haven't been able to set lineups at 9PM EST. Wasn't it moved back an hour a few weeks ago?

And then not moved back?

I use to love finding out who I got as a FA and changing my lineup right away.

I feel bad for Tom and Greg because they seem like nice guys and are put in the line of fine by Fanball's poor IT and website.

I'm always hesitant to post problems on here because I feel bad for them. Just imagine these boards if we didn't know the folks running it like we do here. Ryan should thank his lucky stars that he has two guys as nice as Greg and Tom here.

FYI: like many things this year, the party never materialized

Maybe this is johnny come lately, but why was Minor picked up in one league but wasn't available in any other league? I'm pretty sure he wasn't drafted.

hilarious that things really haven't improved much since april. faab week 1 was such a catastrophe that it's almost that since then if things haven't reached that level of ineptitude then each week is considered a success.

when in actuality it's been nothing but more problems and empty promises since then.

My guess is because he was in all free agent pools on Friday and manually pulled out of each league. They probably had to do this league by league and just missed one. It's just an assumption, but probably the correct one.

They'll likely reverse this pickup.

I'd love to have another Ryan E. Houston chat. I'd like to hear his take on the problems this year and what they have in the cards to prevent these going forward.

I won't trust a word he says anyways. Greg and Tom say it and mean it, then I am more willing to believe it. Ryan E's word is lower than Judas' word.

He is way too important to talk to his customers. He has been called out a number of times even already on the football boards but he won't step foot on the boards cause honestly nothing good could happen from that.

For next year, I hope NFBC considers having all major and minor league players available in the pool. It would add to the challenge of roster management strategy, and would eliminate a lot of complaints.
