First and formost I DO NOT support a 6 team playoff, thus, so that my words can't be further twisted by you, I'm now clarifying that in no circumstances will I vote that way.
I did not say you support it, if I did, that is not what I meant. What I meant to say is that Brian and You are two pushing for a Toilet Bowl, yet you both are OPEN TO THE IDEA OF 6 MAN PLAYOFFS W/ modifcations.

On the other hand, I am against a toilet bowl, extra balls, or anything that does not give the worst team an advanatge. I did not want to say this and bring another issue into the matter, but just to clarify how much I am against that idea... I would honestly consider walking away from Frenzy and my 3 1st rounders in 08 if a Toilet Bowl is pushed through.

This is a contract league... in the end. The worst teams should get the best draft picks. The impact of a rookie stud is immense as you lock up a stud long term and in the first 2 or 3 years... then money saved due to the cheap rookie contract is spent on improvong the rest of the team via extra capspace to sign another stud FA, build depth, or more flexibility in trades. You get a stud rookie and your team will be in very good shape.
