All fine and dandy except for the fact that it does nothing for CFM! How about keeping these modes open for cross pollination or something, as there are tons of MUT card players that many would love to populate their CFM with. It only makes sense.

Looks like one of Aaron Rodgers footballs. Wonder when the investigation into that starts, oh wait he doesn;t play for the Patriots so it's perfectly acceptable.
