I got a trade for you. J. stewart, M.Hasslebeck and Zach Miller for D. Clark..... All right I'll throw in a kicker you take your pick. Akers OR Kaeding?

He contacted me directly about it, I wouldn't have taken it if he didn't go out there to ask me for the trade.

Make the offer on there and I'll take it...no point in sitting on guys that could make or break another team just because my team was one of if not the worst in fantasy history.

He averaged a 2nd round pick on yahoo this year (that's the average of all the drafts), and frankly even if we drafted again knowing what we know now he'd still be a 2nd rounder. If it was the 2008 draft sure he's a 1st rounder, but he missed the whole year, had a major operation to repair his torn up knee, and simply wasn't going to have a 2007-type year in 2009 after a full year without playing a down of football.

He also got 1/4 of all his points this year in 1 game (52 points out of 210) vs Tennessee.

Your team wasn't that bad, I had a team one year featuring a WR group of Laveranues Coles, Joey Galloway, and Chris Chambers, and a RB tandem of Rudi Johnson and Domanick Davis. THAT was a depressing year.

If you're picking in the late- to mid-first round, and you don't take a QB of his record on that team with those weapons, and with our scoring system... You "just don't understand what the draft is all about."

But, whatever.

That trade really goes against the spirit of competition. It's bad enough that somebody did'nt even try and quit. But then on top of that sticks it to everyone else... Bullsh!t, Karma sucks....

Wow... i just saw this trade. HORRIBLE. A no win team who has tanked it, has no business making a deal like this at this point in the season.

If he had made this deal when we were all encouraging him to try and improve his team, that's one thing... But to pretty much not participate, not bother to set his line-up, and show ZERO respect to the other teams in the league along the way...makes this trade just atrocious to me.

If the consensus is it was unfair let's just cancel it and be done with it. I didn't think it was so bad, but I would rather just cancel and keep Tony "rollercoaster" Romo than have it breed bad feelings in the league. I think we're at each other's throats enough in the political forum, the fantasy football was supposed to be a break!

So PC I don't think I can cancel it but you can revoke it or just manually change the rosters to what they were.

Hope there are no hard feelings, although I suppose you should expect evil scheming and unfair competition from a team named after Dick Cheney!

It's not really on you... Cant blame you for trying. I just cant for the life of me figure out why he would make this deal after essentially proclaiming that he was throwing in the towel several weeks ago. That's the issue here. Otherwise I would almost never get involved in another teams trading practices.

You know what this sounds like to me? Wah wah he made a move after I whined about him not making any moves!

You guys demanded I do something and I did it. I get no offers for any players since the draft and someone finally offers me a trade I get slammed for going through with it.

Fcuk it, the hell with this. Damned if I do and damned if I don't. Void the trade, penalize him for going out of his way to ask that I do the trade. Fcuk it.

2-1 vote against the trade (me being the lone "for it" vote) ... i'll wait until midnight for another franchise to offer an opinion before voiding it... not that i have to do anything , as the site never processed it anyway...
