And yes, I'm kidding...I've thought about putting money into this game where winner takes home something but thought better about it. Best to probably keep money out of it completely!

This is a simple game man, cmon 2010, you need to take a breather.
Yeah I am not a fan about real money exchanging hands for players at all. I didn't think a rule needed to be in place to have everyone on a equal playing field. We have dudes of all ages in this game where does the cash considerations end? Seems like that is a black hole we shouldn't be going down and hopefully hasn't went down in the 3 years.
You guys are entitled to that opinion. Like I said, no judgement either way. But on the flip side, some owners have more resources IRL than others. Which is why big market teams have an advantage over small market teams.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here. So we have a distinct IRL reference that BaF dudes oppose. Yet we have elments that IRL would be deemed foul that BaF dudes deem fair. Perspective.

I actually think a winners pot would be good. I'd bet it would keep people from quitting, there'd be more activity, and less questionable trades. Real talk.

I appreciate you bringing it to the table for an honest discussion but I think there are way to many unknowns and issues that could potentially happen. IMO anything that could potentially shift the balance fo the league to specific teams just doesn't make sense when we have a really good game as it is and its competitive and balanced and fun. Introducing money into the picture and shady sh*t will happen even more.

I really need to cut this habit of scrolling through the rosters because sometimes I see things before they're even announced.
I know these teams so well even the slightest bit of player movement jumps off the page.
