Yeah, well, whatever

 

Lots going on here at the palatial League HQ so I'm not going to have much of a post.

Had a waivers snafu occur this week which should serve as a cautionary tale for all owners. The Rbacks put in a blind bid claim on Monday for Taylor Heinicke and dropping Matt Ryan as part of the bid. Should have been pretty straightforward. But with no other bidders he was NOT awarded the Washington QB. 

Why? It seems that Dave came back on Tuesday and dropped Ryan preemptively. Cutting through all the minute details...the system saw the Heinicke bid but since the 'drop Ryan' part was no longer a possibility (having been dropped already) the bid was tossed as invalid. It didn't matter that Dave had an open slot or that no one else bid in the guy, the bid itself was bounced. At least that's the only explanation I can come up with. 

Lucky for David the guy he wanted was available this morning (and for only $5 as opposed to his original bid) and everything turned out for the best. I'm alerting everyone not to pick on Dave (it's an easy mistake to make) but to emphasize the fact that the system is not human and can't interpret your intent. Always double-check your work when it comes to blind bidding, especially if you go back and revise anything (bid amount, player to be dropped, add more bids, switch player priority, etc.) 

In a perfect system when Dave went back into the system on Tuesday evening to drop Ryan and add more bids a warning that the Heinicke bid was illegal would have been helpful. But you're pretty much on your own in these things.

 

Meanwhile...enjoy a little Marshall Tucker Band with the late Toy Caldwell. I saw them a couple of times in Houston at the old Sam Houston Coliseum and they tore the place up. Just a super live band.  

 

 

And my cutie!
