Yes, I saw that e-mail.

Yes, fairly.

Brendon Reeves. Pffffft.

Which is why it puzzled me.

Thank you.

Simple. There's no minimum for second string kickers. So by removing Hohaia's second string kicker status there's no way to "break" someone's squad.

With Webb, if there's a team that has him and 4 other fullbacks, if I make him a fullback suddenly they have 5. Hardly fair is it?

But there is a maximum for second string kickers, and when you changed one (was it Hohaia or Williamson?) to a second string kicker, suddenly I had three. Hardly fair, was it? Especially considering I signed them all long before they even looked liked doing any goal kicking for their sides.

Yes, I switched Hohaia from First String to Second String. I should've switched him to non-kicker. That was my mistake.
