Glenn, did you know the song before you posted the lyrics? I don't think there is a country music station in New York. I've never heard of the song -- had to look it up on YouTube.
I haven't listened to New York radio (other than occasionally WFAN and ESPN) in almost 2 years. Sirius in one car, XM in the other.

The only way any type of "first come, first served" situation would be tolerable is if each transaction after bidding closed for the week cost a flat fee of, say, $200 per transaction. At least this way, each team would be penalized (not rewarded) for not bidding on a player during the weekly bids. So if I understand you correctly:
If a player goes from being worth a $0 FAAB bid to a $950 bid on Saturday afternoon due to a sudden injury or unfortunate incident, then the person who happens to be sitting at their computer at the right moment pays $200 to get that player.
How exactly is that tolerable? [/QUOTE]It was a pretty clear post. It started with "I'm very against having a "first come, first served" bidding process in any form." I don't know how I could say it any clearer.
The tolerable portion is because I've never seen a player not worth acquiring on Friday, who's value moves to $950 on Saturday. No teams are going through full contact workouts on Saturday, so no one is blowing out an ACL, MCL, etc.

amazing how you were so peep quiet at both drafts and didn't say a word or come up to me.I've seen you ask this question to a dozen people, why they don't come up to you at the draft. Maybe you should ask youself this one question: could there be a REASON people don't bother seeking you out to talk to you at the draft. Hmm? And here's a tip, it ain't cause they're scared of you. :rolleyes:
