I have said it before and i will say it again:
Going by Feasters statement he knew about the rule and was ready to challenge if it came down to it. That challenge would have taken weeks for a decision. Even if Feaster had won, this team would more than likely have been out of it and handing the Av's a top 5 pick.
Sorry but that is not a good back up plan.

Yes he is, but he actually hasn't said anything yet. So we really don't know what his interpretation of it would be. We know what feasters interpretation of it would be. And that's about all we have.
Maybe the gentle and sensitive Elliott Friedman will have a response from the league later today. The hot stove should be very interesting tonight.
My guess is that they will cite unnamed sources in the players Association and the league office. Which means will be no further ahead tomorrow in understanding this issue.
I hesitate to call it a fiasco because as of right now I'm not sure that it actually is a fiasco. I only know that whole bunch of non-credible sports media say that it's a fiasco. Everything else being equal that probably means it wasn't a fiasco at all.
