We have another surreal moment to remember from the 2008 season, right up there with Wolverhampton buying four tight ends, Spokane double-bidding on Adam Vinatieri and Tri-City drafting via flashlight.

With the kickoff of Krohn Bowl XXIII 52 hours away, Kai Kruger waives running back Thomas Jones. Yes, that Thomas Jones ... the guy who scored a team-record 15 TDs for the Jets this year.

Kruger (who hasn't made many moves this year) apparently was confused about how the waiver system works -- was trying to release guys to create roster space and accidentally cut his highest-scoring player.

This will get very interesting if the coach of Wasilla files a lawsuit, gaining an restraining order against Jones being allowed to play. Most guys, I think, would wave it off as a Mulligan. Some, however, would insist that Jones not be allowed to play.

This is a Krohn Bowl game, with lots at stake.

This is why you should practice throughout the season, Kai. Make lots of stupid roster moves to work out the kinks when it doesn't matter as much. That's what I do, and I have personally found it to be quite effective.

Wasilla votes to let him correct the error. I want the Trolls at full strength, and he's already suffered enough with the double-header debacle.

Besides, no Jones can harm me anyway.

Another housekeeping matter: Branch, Ocho Stinko and Bironas should all be at $1. I picked them open during the open period last week.

Ian, can I get some clarification on the Troll roster? I see you put Jones back, but does he also get Looker, Akers and Scobee back, because I didn't know that was part of the deal. What exactly was he doing? I see that the Looker and Hill salaries are $0. Can you correct those too.

I don't care how you fix it. I'm just trying to figure out what his bottom-line roster situation is.

I moved those salaries back to $1.00.

Waiver deadline today is 3 pm. I'll run the grab bag, then guys will be available first-come first-serve for the duration.

I dropped D.Branch and C.Johnson by accident. Can I have them back please?
