the one good thing from this situation is that the error was with a bona-fide stud top 5 WR. If this happened with a different WR, who lets say is on the fence in regard to perceived value to NFFC and scoring, then this thread would be another 30 pages before it was done.
For example, lets say a player like Brandon Marshall, Wes Welker , etc. who had decent week one scoring, but no long term NFL successful track record like S. Smith.....then this whole thing woulda been a nightmare... You had to go there. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]On the flip side, if it was not a player of S. Smith's caliber...then I would not have the same view point and opinion as I did. 
[/QUOTE]So where do you draw the line?? At what rank does the "forgiveness" end?? A rule is a rule, this is a contest...if you select the wrong player, it's your fault whether it's a 1st round pick or a 15th rounder. Nothing unethical or unfair about this.
Say I picked up Ricky Williams this weeks, but meant to pick up Ricky Williams of the Dolphins, not the Colts...would I receive a pass since I obviously wanted the one from the Phins??
How can Greg ever rule against another owner who experiences the same type of fiasco?? A precedent was set today that could lead to problems down the road.
Sure I know Dunn didn't meant to drop Smith, but from what I've read he DID drop Smith so I don't see how everyone can say he should be placed back on his team. [/QUOTE]Patrick, as I've stated previously, this has happened a few times this year in the NFBC. Owners have contacted me as soon as the moves are announced and I've made the changes. None have been the caliber of Steve Smith, but they have been corrected by me. Do I view today as a precedent setting day? No, but I know you do.
If Rich straggled onto the boards tomorrow morning and asked where Steve Smith was, it would be a closed case against him. But he contacted me immediately, told me honestly what he thought happened and I acted the way I thought I should. He didn't use any illegal means to acquire a player or to gain an edge.
