But as a waiver player you can't really do anything to 'compete' and improve your player ahead of the draft without any form of training or actual waiver system. At least to my knowledge nobody publically made a formal announcement that I was acquired by the hawks, there wasn’t a waiver thread ect. Not to mention in the Bank ledger I’m not even listed as part of the team. It’s like I don’t exist until S2? If that’s the case what’s the point in sticking around? Am I angry – not really, but a little more organization is sorely needed.

"Interview with NSFL Referee Ted Mochuli" (min 500 words - $1,000,000)
"Otters QB Mike Boss caught with deflated footballs in preseason" (min 750 words - $1,500,000 bonus $500,000 for interview with Mike Boss)

Just other stories that could drive the league narrative beyond previews and recaps.  We make the post say every Friday at 9PM, and then whoever is the first to post and claim a story is the one who gets to write it.  Each story would have a deadline, and if the deadline is missed, the payout is cut in half or something.  Each of these articles would be worth either more money than the standard media rate or would come with a TPE payout instead of a money payout.

My first 1000 words is worth 750k. My next 1000 words is worth 950k. Why? What makes the first 1000 words worth less. What is the incentive for ANYONE to EVER post a single article if they have enough cash in the bank for a week or two of training? Just hold your media's and keep adding until you need the money, then dump a huge article. Get the extra 200k for doing the exact same work.

Baller, you got 8 TPE from the mock draft. Many people got 0. There is nothing protecting players (like myself and others) who don't know much about the league from getting fucked.

Someone who has intimate knowledge of the league and it's workings CLEARLY benefited against those who don't have that same knowledge. What message does that send?
