Re: Idea about Create-A-Team Franchises.

All so you can enter fantasy draft, replace your least favorite team, and select players in a big long draft. Absolutely ridiculous.

Only cool side effect was the ability to delete or clone players. Say you wanted two copies of Champ Bailey because you and your roommate argue over who gets him...well, add him to you C-A-T and replace the Cowboys or something, "forgetting" to add T.O. to your team's roster. Suddenly there are two Champ Baileys out there, getting it done, and the NFL has nothing more to do with T.O.

Although it's way less funny when it happens by accident. My roommate once cloned some low-rated lineman and removed another just because their names were so similar and he selected the wrong one.
That's pretty much exactly what I PMed Ian. If he read it or not, is beyond me. I really hope so.
