the draft

I resurrected the EFL this year after a two year hiatus. It quickley became a Ball of Confusion. Yahoo lost our draft data due to a server error then "restored" it, but to the wrong teams. League members expressed legitimate consternation. One quit, then rejoined only to quit again within a few short minutes. The league had been "compromised", he asserted in an email. That's not an inaccurate statement under the circumstances, but his was the only franchise to bolt, then suggest he wasn't bolting and then bolt again. The other nine franchises stayed the course, knowing we would figure it out.
Today (Thursday), a league member in Michigan recovered the draft data and migrated it to a new site. We began play at night with the teams we drafted at the other site. I had a good night with Peyton Manning as my QB. The franchise owning Reggie Wayne did even better.

We found a replacement for the quitter.
