Yeah, I almost did that as well, but somebody outbid me...thank god. It would be a minor inconvenience, but there should be another button we have to click when we want to put a bid on a player. That'd be "Which team do you want to bid on this person with?"

how much trouble does it cause if we were to put the player back on the TL and have our second team bid on him?

I don't remember the entire list of restrictions but I think your two teams can't transfer players between each other. I assume it won't let you bid?

Peluin is correct....I just listed one of my scrub draft picks from Arizona, and then switched to my second team....it won't let me bid and says "You cannot buy players previously or currently owned by your other team." . That's interesting, so not only can we not buy players from our other team (which we already knew)....we can't buy players from a random team that were previously owned by our other team.

Obviously that is to prevent getting a middle man involved to move a player...but that seems pretty harsh. If a player is available on the open market, owned by a team unrelated to one our of our two teams...my opinion is that we should feel free to by that player whether we have had anything to do with that player in the past or not.

i love the way life works --

i read your note and think HaHa, thank God i'm not that dumb and go on my merry way.

and i will be damned if i then don't do the same thing -- now i have this useless player literally way out of his league.

he'll play tonight, taking the place of a Lucky Fan, but after that . . . i hate to see his life come to an end because of a mistake i made, but he costs too much to only be handing out towels during timeouts.

13 days from now will be my 4 year anniversary playing this game...and for the first time in my career I forgot to set my lineup for a game :-( In a cup game, vs. a bot team no less....This might just be my exit cue....

Wow man that is sadness As someone who spent the last two seasons tanking I feel your pain... it's not like you're gonna pay attention to the league games.

At this point it's all about the pops. Utopia has rekindled my interest a bit because of training. But it's weird, I don't really have a desire to train on my USA team. That doesn't make sense, but it is what it is.

not my intention to cast aspersions on you -- in fact, that was really what i was getting at.

it has been one of my life's great lessons that as soon as i think i am better than somebody else, something happens to slap that silly notion out of my head.

your post was a great warning: "take care about signing on". i thought to myself, yeah, i know that.

and then make the same mistake. truly, who is dumb?

that is why i will not be making any fun of Jason's mistake.

fwiw, you did provide us with a glimpse of the relative value of a team of Lucky Fans vs. the scrubs on a DV computer-managed squad. Those Fans can rebound, but can't shoot FTs and they turn the ball over.

and you didn't hurt anyone's training.
