Yet those teams trying to compete, make their teams better, stay active, but have a miscommunication get hit with a roster cripling penalty. Yeah, that's real f'n fair.

First off, you're opening pandoras box with your statement about mismanagement by other teams. Everybody has their own opinion on how to run their squad, some more right than others. Additionally teams may be in different build cycles. Some folks are still in the learning process for building within the cap system as well. FTR, to encourage competetive lineups, last year I proposed we put in place a lottery system for the #1 pick, but got shot down. I don't know the right answer, but I won't question the intentions of anyone in this league. I think every single owner is doing the best with what they have.
As to your cap penalty, you knew all day on Saturday that you had an issue, and time was against you. You could have avoided the cap hit entirely by making cuts in lieu of the deal with Matt that never materialized. I'll also add that the rule was crystal clear for this situation, and was applied appropriately.
I'm sure you're frustrated, but you have to take some of the blame in this situation.
