In the spirit of simplifying and cleaning up a few things, I've made a change to the Sports.ws add/drop functionality. Over the last few seasons we've been adding alternate ways of adding and dropping players (first within player profiles and more recently from the stats page). The previous Add/Drop page which was in the header is no longer necessary and has been removed.
Now when you add/drop players from the profile or stats pages, you'll be taken to a confirmation screen which will process the transaction and then send you back to the page from which you came (with a success or fail message). This is more in line with ESPN and Yahoo and I believe it flows better.
The only thing immediately missing is a list of the players on waivers with your priority ranking listed (not that this is required very often in single-season Legends leagues). I am torn about where to add this waiver functionality back (I am leaning toward a widget on the League Dashboard).
You'll notice that I've also shuffled some items around in the header and renamed the Stats page to the Players page (which is what this type of mass list is referred to at ESPN and Yahoo).
I am always reluctant to mess with something as familiar as the site header but the goal of the changes is to make it easier for existing users to add and drop players while also making the process more intuitive for new users.

Looks awesome!
