League Number TBD

It looks like Artis Gilmore was left off the Alpha List. He was definitely drafted in the last 52 (from 8 weeks ago)

Bump

I just posted this to the league's board and figured I could post it here too. "BTW - quick sanity check. We have Bob McAdoo as our highest paid player and named the team after him. He is not on the banned list. Can we confirm that is not an error with the banned list before we start? If not an error, then I am good. If it is and he is actually "banned", please let me know and I will sub him out."

McAdoo is indeed available.

Thank you, Sir/Ben. Very much appreciated.
