So, yesterday I read a nice summary of the capspace available to various teams, and some spotty analysis of what it means by Thomsen. When I say 'spotty', it's not that it was bad, just that some of his conclusions are unwarranted in my opinion. Anyway, Thomsen wrote the article two days ago:

So, what appears on ESPN today? A re-hashing of Thomsen's work using "MCs" (maximum capspace free-agents, with all attendant detail) but relying on all of his work without attribution:

He could have at least tipped the hat to Thomsen. Fuckin ESPN hacks. :bang

Just goes to remind us all how derivative the world is - everyone is just copying everyone else. Hollywood stopped producing new movies 20 years ago. Such is the world. :vomit:
