Please don't misconstrue my CBS support and Fantrax support for thinking CBS is the way to go for the UHL. I'm not sure we've found it yet. I just know CBS is better than Fantrax at a lot of things and now that the salary thing has been sorted there's little to worry about with CBS. Plus the fact it keeps league records for everything makes it an ideal hub. That being said there has to be a third site out there that combines it all into one package.

For me, the only thing Fantrax lacks is category-based H2H. Other than that it may lack a bit of aesthetic but it's beyond functional and offers everything I could hope for IMO.

Of course MD. I know where you're coming from.

As for the idea of a hub, I can see why this part of CBS could be useful, however I am a huge fan of forum based backbones. Every Dynasty League I've participated in is forum first. Some guys don't like that approach, I think it's fantastic. It may take a couple more minutes when confirming a trade or signing FAs, but that is what I have always done.

Last season, I had three leagues that ran off of the Fantrax engine, so I guess that is where my personal preference comes from. I still haven't explored CBS and I probably won't this season. I realize my team will suffer because of it, but I really have no motivation to play around.

I share the same sentiments. Maybe that was my reasoning in accepting a gig at Fantrax over exploring the CBS route.

In case you missed Monday's Week 9 Recap, it featured a detailed dose of Quick Hits by Brandon Landry ala "10 Thoughts".

Make sure you check it out and future editions as well.
