it is a fun league. we actually manage to play without bickering, bad mouthing each other, or any of the other common childish things found in so many leagues.
i was very much against scouts when we were talking about using them or not using them, but they're (much to my surprise) not bothering me at all. mine even 'found' a good young player and advised me to sign him...which i had the opportunity to do before any other teams were allowed to offer him a contract. i didn't even know that part of 'scouting' existed but even though the player hasn't shown much in the way of promise, it was still pretty cool.
i don't know that we know yet exactly from where the expansion teams are going to get their players, but we're all very interested in the league being fun for all GMs (not just some), so i don't think the new teams will be hopelessly horrible.
