There is always a trade deadline in any league and I think trading now is not in the spirit of good fantasy competition. Also, teams not in the playoffs dropping players so a buddy can pick them up is not right either. If a non-playoff team drops a player, that player should have to be on waivers for one week before a playoff team can pick him up.

I took it for granted that all of these rules were in place already. Most of you are fantasy veterans, this should be a non-issue.

BTW..........Don great job as commish man!!! i loved your willingness to trade from week to week....it definitely made things interesting!!

Any given sunday,like SATIN said....dez might suck from here on out....and DeMarco Murray is back anyway.....I say approve it...Thanks again Don,for all your hard work on being the "COMMISIONER" we can't pay you 15 million like GOODELL gets....but if you make one trip to SATIN'S FIGHT NIGHT PARTY,whenever he has one....we'll make it up to you.......

Appreciate the love brother

Thanks for the love brother.

And yeah, I thought everyone's team would still be around, so I didn't set a deadline, I will do it for sure next season, you live and you learn, I guess.

I've gone ahead and veto'd the trade...

Trey, since you can still make trade proposals, if you make a deal with someone who still has an active team, and the rest of the teams that are playing agree it's fair, you can go ahead with the deal. I think that's the best way to handle this.

Trey · 12-03-2012, 07:26 PM

I think they will still play if they do you should force my trade though

TheDon · 12-03-2012, 08:21 PM

I'm pretty sure their season is over, I don't see why they would be back if the missed this week....But if they are back, yeah, I will cancel the veto, but I'm pretty sure they are out...

Satin · 12-03-2012, 08:29 PM

I can see all your points but for me personally, I don't care. I guess if we were gambling for more money, I would...lol. Yea, I know it's the principle...blah, blah, blah, but I just don't see it as a big issue. Like Jim Rome says, "if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying"!!!

I made the fewest trades this whole season: only 1 trade......I had a bunch proposed to me but only did one with Cat-Man....which helped me out (Fat Michael Turner)...

We learned a lot this year so next year will be better. I hope.

It is entirely the principle. That coupled with the fact that these will probably be the rules going forward for next years league. I have played in a number of fantasy leagues through the years and I have never been in a league that allowed a team to trade after elimination. From my perspective, there is no way to justify the concept!

dearhunter · 12-04-2012, 09:04 AM

You fucktards are trading after you are eliminated?

What is to prevent you from giving your star players to someone in the palyoffs?

Who is the fucktard willing to accept those players?

Mixshowdj · 12-04-2012, 01:14 PM

Well...Trey...commish shot trade down. I understand perfectly. Easye on a roll,but any given sunday,like SATIN said,you may still pull it out. Hell, ROMO and Cj killed me the first 6 weeks of the season...I could have had a shot at playoffs. Good luck to all you guys that are in...On another note......the Cowboys...Steeler's....and Redskins....all Are on life support......

Trey · 12-09-2012, 03:20 PM

Well looks pretty bad Bradshaw is out I got nothing left. I'm thinking about dropping my team so be on the lookout for pickups for the Super Bowl

Satin · 12-09-2012, 06:08 PM

Chaser, man I don't mind losing to you fair and square sir, but when your Seahawks defense scores 41 motherfucking points to beat me, don't you think that's going a bit too far!!!??? Fuck!!!

:n o:

Rubchasertx · 12-10-2012, 04:08 AM

Satin, I will ask the commish to pull my d but with a 5 point le ad from last week and od and graham going tonight, i still think i got you. Too bad this match up doesn't mean Shit since we are both ahead of pretty much everybody.

dearhunter · 12-11-2012, 07:49 AM

I want to take this moment to thanck the fantasy football world for this great honor. It was a hard fought battle. These regular season trophies (regular season chump & highest scoring retard) will hold a special place in my fantasy trophy case.......along with my hunger foul)........I want to thanck my chihuahua for making my weekly starting lineup......I thinck I will let him chase more cats as a reward.

Now, let's see if I can keep from getting my ass kicked in the playoffs.

TheDon · 12-11-2012, 02:41 PM

TOP TWO SEEDS GO DOWN IN OUR PLAYOFFS

But congrats to Ded and Trey on good seasons. Dadio and Easy are in the finals, I think we should get the prize money situation handled soon as we know who the winner will be (either dadio or easy). I proposed paypal, but if either the two of y'all know guys, you can get it that way, too. I think the easiest way would be to have y'all message the rest of us. The amount was $25 if I remember correctly.

Good luck Men, too bad I couldn't join in, my team is hot right now...eh.

Trey · 12-11-2012, 02:59 PM

Dude I don't think anyone is gettin no money lol. I put that shit up after week one. It was a good season next year lets keep most things the same so no surprises during the playoffs we keep the two game sets. We put in a trade deadline of two or three games before the end of season. And if we are going to pony up cash lets get it done before week one guys lets stop the bull about 50-100 bucks cus you know no ones gonna put it in 20 at least makes it something (and everyone should be willing to lose a 20).

Any other suggestions for next year?

Oh yeah forgot to say I was robbed! Robbed I say!

TheDon · 12-11-2012, 03:03 PM

Well, if you choose not to chip in the prize money, there isn't much I can do about it.

But I'm good for my word, so the winner is at least guaranteed a solid $25 pay day out of me, you can get a gift card from Amazon or Best Buy with that shit!
