File and pages are up; the deadline for roster moves, extensions, releases and reward camps is FRIDAY NIGHT at 80:00 PM EASTERN. I will reverse the career-enders, if there are any, as well. The actual flip will probably be a couple hours later as it takes time to do so.
The off-season is going to take a little longer than usual as I need to do the ammy players. Darryl is going to work on the 1980 file which I'll send shortly.
Dave/Mark, do yo jobs!
